Does everything well and love the awd. Best DD you can get IMO. The Z4 is my weekend fun car when the weather is nice (rare in Seattle)

The Z4 is never going to perform at 991 Turbo level. I run Pure stage 2 Turbos and methanol and the car is fast but traction limited and you must run a heavy duty clutch to handle the power.
I was going to say the same thing about the 911 Turbo.

I have many hours in 911's and 911 Turbo's, GT3's on a track and it is nothing like the Z4. I love my Z4, but it is no 911 Turbo nor will it ever be.

The Z4 feels closer to a Cayman than anything.
