- Mustang is fast and handles well (though I don't agree its on par with Z, regular mustang though no track package) but doesn't feel as agile.
- BRZ/Miata feel great in handling but they don't feel fast.

Sure there are bimmers that do all three but they are in a different price range, and you need to shell out lots of $$ for extended warranties. You can't put down $20K like you can on a well specced used Z and have some fun. Forged wheels? Limited slip diff? Count me in!
I totally agree with this. The Z is about balance of the driving experience - without discounting having some power the way cars like the Miata, BRZ, and RX-8 do, but also considering it's not a $75,000 car made of aluminum so it weighs 2800 lbs. like those cars do, too.

I have another car.

I'll give you two guesses what it is.
