The car is really two different beasts. I had no idea until driving around the last 150 miles. Seats are great, the leather is soft, shifts are super smooth. In comfort the suspension doesn't kill you on bad roads, engine noise is low when just taking it, easy. Then push a buton, setup aggresive modes, go past 4000-5000 rpms total different car. Coming from the 335, the handling feels incredible. The amount of driver feedback is great. Ring times are great, but yeah hard to get best of both worlds. Just find some z06 owners......
