We did a few rolling start pulls, I was curious just to see whether there will be any difference now with the shorter final drive. To my surprise, the cars were equal! Last year when I tried the same test, the M3 was always pulling away, it was obvious that the Z can't match it...but now it's almost as if they were completely toe to toe. Start from zero would probably be heavily in BMW's favor, as with launch control and automatic, I can't match that...but rolling from 50 it's pretty much dead heat.
Very cool to see that the car is now quicker, and I'm not just imagining it.
It must be feel so great! Nice
