Next test drive: take a corner that'll scare your salesman (Well, maybe it won't some of those guys drive pretty nuts). You'll find the short wheelbase quite an advantage in the twisties.

I DO feel a bit of the heat after driving the car, by the quarter panels as you mention and above the hood. But I'm trying to remember if it's any more than I felt of the G35 6MT.

Have you test driven the G37S coupe? That'll return a lot of the "civility", if you're looking for a more refined drive.

Maybe upgrade the Bimmer and get an M3.

Plenty for me here (for now). A coworker's thinking of getting a Camaro 2SS (he's so on the fence, he's literally a post right now). My buddy who's "so-in" to his 335i asked to race (he's a bit naive). I told him we'd BOTH get our a$$es wiped.
