Can’t argue with the performance stats. I like the Z better for its lighter weight and less insane acceleration. The M3 was impressive. A total beast. But the Z typifies the adage “would rather drive a slower car fast.” The weakness for the Z is body roll and ride height, so I addressed those issues with springs. It’s a car that puts a smile on my face and handles s curves like a lightweight sports car as opposed to an AWD powerhouse. The G8x is a 2 plus 2 and Z is a roadster. My initial comment was not meant to pit the two cars against each other, but to come at the angle of rebutting the price-is-too-high critique, but I guess I did take a dig with the phrasing huge sacrifice for driving dynamics. Too strong of a statement. The cars are both great and serve different purposes. I saved over $20k and 360kg (3500 v 4300 lbs) v the m4 and prefer the roadster.
