How can something with fwd even be considered a sports car? I don't care how much you mod it. Even if you had 700hp it would still have fwd :P

The only downside is that I am going to have to order the car to get what I want. 6 speed 335s are not very common. I will be putting down my deposit soon and begin the wait.

Thanks for all the feedback you provided. The Z is a fantastic car that I would be happy driving. I just decided to stretch my budget and the car that best fits me.

Im sorry if I misrepresented my intentions. I never planned to pay cash for the car although i would have bought the Z instead of leasing if i had decided to go that route. BMWs just make good lease vehicles because of high residuals. Also, im not big on doing mods so a lease car doesn't hinder me like it would others.
