Seen you on M3 post. I traded my E92 M3 in on a Z06 in January. Based on what you posted in your initial post, I would recommend keeping the M3 or go for the Porsche. I only got the Z06 because I wanted to try an American V8 in a lightweight chassis. If you don't need the power and don't want to deal with traction issues then go for the Porsche. The biggest difference is I struggle all the time to even get the stock power levels to the ground where in my modified E92 M3 with 295 rear tires I could still always get the power to the ground and enjoy the car. I am holding out hope that some new wheels and 345 tires possibly drag radials will fix that issue for me.

yes, i remember...i pm'd w/ you briefly..thanks for the words
guys i really appreciate all the input...and i know the Z pretty much smokes anything on the road on straights and twistes...i am an intermediate driver...done several track days...and i actually fear the Z, lots of power and light...i get scared when a car doesnt let me know what its doing...and i hear the Z is a tough car to drive fast...as to thats why i ask about the "feel and feedback" cause cars that do tell you whats going on seem to be a lil easier to drive at 10/10ths.
thanks again

I have had a lot less seat time in the Z so far (obviously, since I have had the M since dec 08) but I have much more confidence driving the M so far. The Z handles well but it can get away from you easily with amount of power and torque on hand. Sorry if I wasn't much help
