Well not long ago, some guy with a B8S4 tried to keep up with me on a twisty back road in MD and ended up in a ditch in my rear view mirror, with his wife bitching at him. That's a lot of mass to move around (inertia), and make stop too. Plus being AWD the driver tend to be a weeee bit over confident. Straight line I think its a wash and driver skill, on a twisty road...you should slaughter him.

Some people hear $60k and german make and assume there's no chance for the poor lil jdm. I call bullsh1t. The performance on these cars are equal and it boils down to driver skill. On a road coarse, Z still wins for agility and no doodads helping out a good driver vs doodads making AWD germaphile feel overconfident. Like I said before. Road course, hard and aggressive and throw em in a ditch.
