to be accurate the E30 M3!

and it's still a lot better than the any E46 (except the M3).

As others have said it's like a go-kart and handles just as well

but it requires more skill to extract performance out of it. in other words more rewarding

I would not say twitchy, more like responsive. it lets you know what youre doing or how you screwed up

twitchy to me is a 1978 911 SC with 270hp

which i had for a short time before my parents came to senses and made me return it

a good family friend (who used to be a Porsche race car driver) had a business buying up old 911s and restoring them and upgrading the engine as well as chasis, body, etc.

The car was sold to me very cheap and he gave me a week or two to make up my mind.

probably a good thing too since I would have had to get a second job to make the payments and I probably would be dead
