Which indicates it will handle ALOT better!
Maybe. I mean, it would be hard to prove that without testing the two. Both have 50/50 F/R weight distribution. The E92 might have lower CoG, but I don't think that has been determined for sure yet, has it? And even so, there is still 150 lbs more to throw around. (Not that I care, since I've got the heavy vert anyway, and the new coupe will still be lighter if I do go that route.)
