I had the same reaction when I read that! Well said!

OT: What did you think of the "Alabama Audis" article? Seems like they're doing things the *right* way, but I have no corroborating info.

This is not the reason for the exsistence of sports cars. They are for trips you want to make rather than have to make. I had an Alfa. These cars were reknown for weak second gear synchros.

Um, 'notorious' comes to mind. IOW: You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll kiss your 2nd gear synchro/head gasket/etc. Goodbye! :-O

I would like to think that BMW provided the Z3 with an "edge" so that the skilled driver can appreciate learning how to "play" it.

Me too; but, the cynic in me says that the cost accountants were over-represented, then.

If the Z3 is redesigned, I hope this trait is retained rather than pandering to those who feel that a car must make up for the skills they are lacking. No posthetic sports cars, Please!

Maybe we should have a survey re: E85's config. Just a thought.
