When I bought my 03 350Z I thought it would be pretty good against most BMW's - and it was in the twisties. But anytime a straightaway came up I was dogmeat to 328's and 330's. Lots of guys in CA added turbos to give it some grunt but the usual outcome was blown heads or pistons.
It was a blast to tool around in and was perfect as a Gran Turisimo. Two people, adequate baggage room, regular gas and 30mpg. The stocks seats were the equal of my $1500 sport seats.
I hated to part with it but my 335i does all that and more. Premium gas, though.
I laughed when the new ones came out with over 300hp advertised. Same torque rating so it will never come close to a E92, even with added turbo's.
