z3s are pigs. be a man and get a miata, youll be much happier. a z3 is nothing but a poser car. looks fast, has a v6, and still cant compete with the much cheaper, much less-powerful, miata.

the dated suspension has been brought up many times but for 95% of the population it's perfectly fine. a simple rear shock upgrade works wonders.

to stiffen up the chassis a front strut bar and rear butt strut bar will make a huge difference. in addition you can also get the X-brace that the M roadster and M coupe comes with standard.

The above link is for the strong strut bars.
I never said the problems weren't fixable... :fawk:

i wasn't aware that it came stock from factory with a turbo :chuckles:

the same can be done to the Z3 2.8L for a whopping 400RWHP.


but i think we're comparing stock to stock? aren't we White[Pony]?
