Another thing which i am not sure about but i _think_ the steering gets too light when you get over a 100. on my test drive i only went 100 per dealer's request, and i felt steering going that route. but judging from my previous G, and Z experience i doubt it'll be too pleasant or safe going over 120 anyway

the car still puts me ahead of traffic, by far which is good enough for me. but to me the Z isnt about that, it's about 1. looks (which is very subjective), 2. the fact it's small and nimble, 3. could be awesome on the track (gotta figure out what to do with VDC tho), 4. cheap, 5. exhaust notes, 6. takes crazy wheel offset. yes i want the car to mod it, drop it, put wheels, etc.
Coming from an M3 remember!
I agree with almost everything you say.
It's definetly not slow though and it's the bang for the buck!
