New M3, destroyed!
Consider it official, the new $65K+ M3 has nothing on a little ole '01Z. On a closed course of course, I owned the M3 in every possible way. From a start, from 15mph, 35mph, 50mph getting well into triple digits I pulled hard on it. It never had a chance. All they could say is "I was short shifting it" and "we got 400lbs in here" I asked if one of them wanted to ride in a fast car to even out the weight
Their windows went up in a hurry...snobby f'ks, but what do you expect when you just got owned in your new $65K car!
Side note- First time really putting it to my new TexOZ700 and couldn't be happier. No sticky pedal, no slip. Awesome.

Tight story. You have a moderately modded Z so it doesn't surprise me that you got him. I still think a stock C5Z would take one.
On the other than, they DO have a backseat..
And as far as the NSX goes, if they're claiming the title "exotic", that car has to be THE slowest "exotic" on the globe. Straight weak.

When we pulled up together and talked for a sec I even started out telling them it was a very nice car before they started making excuses...
I definitely wouldn't mind if someone gave me one, but $65K, no thanks.

i mean i would take a C5 Z06 over the new M3 myself, but i don't think the cars are really apples to apples.... the M3 has a lot of creature comforts, a really really nicely designed interior and some really cool gadgets. the Z is just really fast and cool looking.
just something to consider i guess!

I wouldn't mind a sports car made by Honda if it had some REAL power and torque(say 400/400+) they certainly know how to make some reliable products. I had an old Acura integra that was bullet-proof. I abused that car and it ran like a top... a slow top.
