3.0 straight six and one of the best handling cars I have driven - and I have driven cars from BTCC to supercars...

The 3.0 Z3 is a very nice car indeed, my wife owned one for a number of years.
However, I'd be interested to hear what supercars you have driven and are deeming it better than? BTCC cars don't count, they're very focused machines built for one thing, and you know one would spank any road car around a track.
As it is, I would say that the Z3 was a competent handler, but not outstanding by any stretch. It did not compare well to many of its rival machines of the day, and that's not me saying that, that's the car mags and tv progs.
Still, it's hard to beat the wail of a BMW straight six whatever the machine!
Probably worth another thread I guess, severely off topic now!!
