Z3 -vs- TT
Drove my brother-in-law to-be's Z3 roadster yesterday and had some fun. His is a 2.8 liter I6 (a special edition with sport suspension, nice 18" BBS wheels, etc.) I'd guess it was rated around 215 hp? Overall I was pleasantly suprised. I'm really not a huge fan of the way they look, but after a 15 minutes in the twisties of NY state, I was definitely grinning.
It handles much better than I thought it would, feels _very_ balanced and no understeer. The 2.8 felt a bit less peppy than my chipped 180 in the lower range, but at 80 mph, it sounded and felt great.
Top down, 80 mph, and we could still carry on a conversation...
Down side is that it's only a 5 speed, does anyone know if the newer ones are 6?
If I had winter vehicle, I'd consider one (assuming they clean up the body!).
