Default Hanging with a de-badged S2000 this morning. Those puppies are pretty quick!

Handling better than my stock suspension with 90K on it, but I was surprised at his speed. I kept gaining on him when we could (single lane, non-highway roads, not trying to pass, just having fun), but not as quickly I guess as believed I would.

Default I almost leased one instead of buying the M3

They weigh very little, but have almost no torque. I was very impressed with the handling when I test drove it, and revving to 8000 is pretty fun ;-). On a tight twisty road, the S4 would get demolished...

Default I put a few thousand miles on one. You'll hate it as a daily driver 100%......

the car was bought with only 11k miles on it from a woman who "didn't know what she was getting into"
