Nice Ride!
Thanks Crusher!

Handling = superb

Power = Pretty quick for most situations, but I would certainly want a bit more power! I had a 2hr play with a Audi RS4 and he was surprised how well the Z1 did. A bit gutless at the low and top end, but make sure you keep it in the mid-band and there is plenty to keep it sweet!

I'll probably be 'speaking' to the E30 boys to get some suggestions for more power from the 2.5....possibly a 2.7 conversion to keep it similar to Alpina/Hartge/ACS etc...(not too fussed about going to the E36 M3 lump...would rather stick to engines 'of the era' if you catch my drift?)

Regards for now,

Bruce.
