well like I had said, I was curious about thoughts on ... I don't know how to explain it.

If a modded Z runs lets say (without gears) 12.7 or so, that's pretty good IMO, but for instance, it's not hard to get an Evo or an STI there pretty easily. Stock for stock the 335i is about even in the acceleration area (just from what i've read) handling it actually seems to do better.

For me, I just loved having that little extra safety feeling of AWD, but the Z is a drivers car and I feel a lot more comfortable with it then I did at first since I had not owned a RWD car since I was 18 ... and i'm 33 now.

Some people don't consider it a "fast" car in the 1/4. Some consider it to be just be decent on a road course type setting. However, against it's competitors in the real world, where does it rank?
