And I'd make my Z a full on time attack car.

Getting them used is the way to go. All the German cars are grotesquely overpriced new.

Kudos on your purchase! Enjoy it!
I don't think I'd really call the Z a pure sports car. It is a bit more raw than the BMW though.

Aside from a GT3 idk how much more pure of a sports car there is. 2 seat, rwd, stiff oem suspension, light curb weight, not too much effort placed into sound dampening, etc...

Hopeless impracticality doesn't make a sports car more pure

Right now, there's not much available that I would really consider a pure sports car. Perhaps a Lotus.

The Z weighs over 3000 lbs, comes with a VLSD at best, etc. I thought even the S was a bit watered down, and it came way closer to being a sports car than the Z does.

Gt3rs ftw!

I know, we already determined the Z is the best in every way. :p

Have you ever been in an actual sports car? The Z is pretty far from a "pure" sports car...

What is a "pure" sports car then?

Dude, of course the guy with the 1 series and a range rover is the expert on sports cars, didn't ya know. He's the expert. 410 whp with just an ecu tune! Bow down to the expert haha. So asinine.

The elise, viper, older miata's, etc are all way closer to a pure sports car than the Z.

I'm failing to see the distinction. The base sport Z is 3200 lb, 2 seat, rwd 300+ HP car that has very few frills to detract away from power and driving experience (no nav, no heavy power sapping leather power seats). It comes with stock wheels that are as light or lighter than most aftermarket wheels of the same size and a stiff suspension. It's loud, it's bumpy, it's a very similar driving experience to a Porsche. I agree on the Elise and Miata's but their claim to fame is a lack of practicality that makes a Z look like a 5 door hybrid.

By this reasoning, would you then say that a Porsche c2S with leather seats, traction control, and sat/nav is not a "pure sports car"?

If the Z went on a diet you might be able to call it a pure sports car.
