Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear January 22, 2009 Share January 22, 2009 please, 325i cabriolet 0-100 in 8.1secs is dead slow...that time i was in a E220CDI taxi, when the driver floored the accelerator, it was really torquey, 400NM, but not that thrown back to the seat...plus, 0-100 8.6secs, seems as if it was 10secs, only brought a grin to my face, not a smile... if you want to feel the acceleration of your car, it's the torque that matters as the more the amount of Nm, the more you'll feel the acceleration. it's the horsepower that makes the car go faster. example- a car with 100bhp, but with 400nm, the passengers will feel like they are taking off in a jet...but in fact, they are going at normal acceleration speeds...but a car with 400bhp with 100nm will go fast without the feeling of going fast...which is a bit boring... the best is 400bhp with 400nm, feel the gravity plus go fast...

Nobody ever claimed the 325 cabrio was very fast. It is sufficient for Singapore roads. And the feeling of open top is priceless. Who cares about fast then? Anyway there is more to a car than 0-100km/h, as being a Ferrari California fan you surely know. You want fast century times? Buy a cheap Vios and turbocharge it and boost it way up. You will go fast in a straight line but that will be all there is to it. The second part of your post: you want to feel the acceleration? Ride a bike. And thanks for your Torque 101 lesson... we are very enlightened by your analysis of torque vs horsepower.

Yup! Driving topless is great. Besides you don't want to go too fast, because you might want to preen and be seen by the pretty chicks who are impressed by this sort of thing.

Eddy82 Neutral Newbie November 30, 2009 Share November 30, 2009 Wonder who would still buy this now that A5 cabrio is out and PI selling the 2.0t quattro s-tronics with potential to chip up to 300hp with warranty intact with $170k+ only Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extramint Clutched November 30, 2009 Share November 30, 2009 actually, i feel the proportions of the rear of a 325 cabrio or even 335 looks weird, referring to the boot up till the rear windscreen. the coupe version actually look much sleeker and fiercer. usually when people drive a convertible, we don't like to zoom past or become really power hungry. it's more of a lifestyle car, the feeling of the wind in the hair and the luxury of choice between a coupe and convertible. cannot expect more performance from the 325 cabrio lah seriously. if im not wrong, i saw a 323 convertible on sale on SGcarmart earlier.. should be from PI? for me, i'd get the 325 / a5 or maybe 335 / S5.. all coupe.

Somthing which Audi refuses to do for A5..Why would they....when they have created such a gorgeous car. Some ppl just need both power n lifestlyle i guess. otherwise why the ferrari california. 323 convert definitely from PI.

Glendon Neutral Newbie November 30, 2009 Share November 30, 2009 Hmm..i thought should be around in the $170k range? Wah, now recession everyone still wanna upgrade to 335i. So power ah recession doesn't mean everyone is in a bad shape. some might be doing really well during a recession, while others can do very badly even during boom time. i guess it all depends on that person's timing in life.
