Also, I can't help but feel there is a staged element to the races. Every car gets a little face time in front, and then a Cayman wins. It's how almost every one of these BM videos go.

every car had a dual clutch tranny including the Z4 35si...so the Nismo didnt do that bad...I wonder how the 7 Spd Auto would fair...I feel the Z driver is at a disadvantage due to all the other Dual clutch cars....

Tires. swap out to a better set and it'll do wonders i'd bet.

swap a set of advan AD08's on.
265/30/19
295/30/19

that should make it much better.

or the best way to do things??

get a base/sport for 30,000

and you have 6,000 to spend.
a set of enkei's and tires will be about 2,000.
nismo suspension and chassis bit are 2,000.
and 2,000 to spend on power.

or just swap out the damn tires.
