Quite a glowing review....
Unfortunately most of my driving is not on twisty roads in SoCal ( I wish it was) but it is on long stretches of highway with some curves thrown in here and there to keep you awake. The raw power of the boosted twin turbo is very apparent on my kind of roads. I swapped an M3 for the E89 for the increase in HP and torque and when you throw in the great looks of the new Z it was a done deal. I have never said the 30i was a lesser car and never will, less powerful "yes" but lesser, "No".
