um...theres nothing off with my speed0 dude. 183 is the top speed based on my gears, as well as tire and wheel sizes. im pretty sure i would know a little better than you, its my car, and i know whats done to it.

 

also, my car doesnt have the csl brakes because it doesnt have the competition package and the tests i showed you were for the regular non csl brakes.

 

This is complete b*llsh*t.

 

yea it is. also, if you look at what i said, i said that based on my redline with my gearing the top speed is 183, i never said anything about it actually hitting that. i would guess i could hit 170-175 tho. i will be able to see soon enough-granted the airstrip has enough room for me to top it out.

 

you do realize that the engine in the z4m is the SAME ENGINE IN THE M3!

 

You are an absolute moron!

 

+1 (message not long enough)

 

As I already wrote in another thread... the Z4MC is the most hardcore car BMW created in the last 15-20 or so years. Its a track car for the road. Its handling is much more aggresive than the M3 which is for some people good and for some people bad. The brakes, engine, gearbox, come from the M3. Now, a side by side comparo with an M3 would be very nice and very interesting to see but up to this time no magazine has attemted one.

 

ok then, who in the NJ/NY/PA area has one? PM me and well give it a go sometime. that will solve it.

 

^Im not talking about a drag race. Im talking about a complete full scale test, that why I said magazine.

 

no im just messing around mostly. once you mod a car its a different story. i know that the cayman s has been the better of the two in every test that has come out ive seen. its just not my style.

 

You know that? For a fact?... Here is what Autocar said a few months ago, and so far every single review and every single test that Ive read says pretty much the same thing:

"While they offer similar on-paper performance, in reality the Z4 and its closest rival are courting a different sector of the public. The Porsche Cayman S is clearly going for the popular vote. It rides well, you can see out of it and it's childishly simple to drive smoothly. By contrast, the Z4M Coupe couldn't care less what most people think and targets instead a smaller constituency of hard-core road racers. What is so astonishing about the Cayman is that it still offers so much to the true enthusiast. Its appeal to the driver is more subtle than thath of the Z4M, but it is no less compelling for that. Simple logic suggests very strongly to us that for the most people the Cayman S is the preferable product."

So any Gayman wont stand a chance if the Z4MC driver has tamed his car.

 

then why does the cayman s run 8:11 at the 'ring' and the z4m run 8:15? 4 seconds is a lot of ground to make up and as you know just as well as anyone, the ring is pretty much the acid test as to how a car handles.

 

heres another. on hockenheim i found a time of 1:15.5 for the cayman s and a time of 1:17.2 there is a very clear distinction between the two on both of these world renowned tracks. the zm4 (although i hate the looks) is prob a great drivers car, and i will not say it doenst handle well, but its no cayman s.

 

The 8:15 was the lap time of the Z4M Roadster and it was wearing the Continentals, the Z4MC times havent been reelased yet.
