I was going to post up a thread on the car and how it feels overall but I will just say that power wise it is definitely more powerful. How that power comes on though is very deceptive however as it's extremely linear! The V8 is very noticable when you hit the gas but it's so smooth that a couple things happen...

1. I had a tune on the Z along with all sorts of airflow mods and suspension so when I hit the gas pedal on the Z, I got a very snappy throttle response along with that "oh-so-wonderful" noise! That made it feel fast. Was it faster than the M3 though? Nope.

2. Deception comes by way of (gas on floor in "M" mode)... "Hmmm... I can hear and feel the V8 but... HOLY DAMN! IS THAT HOW FAST I'M GOING?!". Understated but damn fast. I don't know if that's getting the point across but it kinda sums it up.

Is it the fastest car I've ridden in? No but it is a definite powerhouse and it's a blast to drive. It really is. I am excited about driving again and that's always good. By comparison, my Z was a blast to drive too though with the mods and tune.
