My 370z with most available bolt ons out ran my friend's full bolt on E46 M3 6MT by a couple car lengths when we went head to head on a closed road. As far as handling dynamics, the M3 will be a bit sharper and a bit more refined but the Z is just as comfortable and can keep up or outrun a modded M3 with comparable mods in my opinion.

Oh, and do you mean debt to income? I was worried for you when you said death to income haha.

M3 is not sharper by all means. Z's steering is more direct and handling is more neutral than E46 M3. most importantly Z grips a lot harder entering corners. however, M3 has Z beat on the comfort department by a landslide. i've never had a car that has more road noise than the 370z. my evo ix se was more comfortable than the Z...

i had a stock M3 and now i have a stock 370z base with sports package.

I generally agree with you. As far as comfort though I feel the seats were designed for one specific body type. (Which is not good) For me, the seats are very comfy. The only draw back is a lack of lumbar support on long trips. But if I wanted to I could've opted for the touring. I chose not to. I think customizing the stock seat or buying recaros to be a more compelling option than the touring pkg. (Just a personal preference.)
