I had a couple of modern sports car and a lot of classic ones.
The modern ones:
Fiero was 88 GT with a turbo 300 bhp engine. Solstice is one of 200 odd manual trans GXP coupes massaged by me to 375 bhp. Latter is quicker than a Z4m, the Fiero, probably about a draw. Still own the Solstice.

Hard to believe that I am actually a British car nut. Those are the only two American sports cars I have ever owned (or wanted). Now own 1 German, 1 American and 4 British (3 MGs and 1 Jensen)

I’m English and I’ve never really liked British cars tbh, except the occasional Aston Martin which I will never afford lol.

Just watched "The Fast and The Fuious - Tokyo Drift" earlier on this evening. A Nissan Silvia was one of the main car stars in it. Seriously cool.

They are great cars if you do them up right, but complete shite in their stock form.
Nothing like my beloved E86 that’s a good little car from factory!

My old E92 M3 that I swapped from in August. I miss the noise at the top end which was pure NASCAR and the steering feel but everything else in the Z4C feels more eventful. Exactly what I want when I'm out once a week on my own in it.

I’d have an E92 if I could afford one tbh. I’ve always had v8s, not having one is the worst part about the z4.

The S65 V8 in the E86 platform would be out of this world! Stuff of dreams

That’s literally the dream for me. If I earn enough money in the next few years I’ll do it before we’re all forced to drive glorified milk floats.
