Size and seat-wise?

I can see that - I had a 981 CS (obviously not a GT4) but it was fine for daily use and for my small family (my fiance and our small dog).

And the sound of the F6 at full Monty was pretty much the best sound I've ever heard in a car.

I've lost my interest in a z06 for now lol. I'm either going M3 e92 to hold me down for a while or just jump in the new M2 competition if I can get over the sound note lol

In case you don't know - as a formal e92 M3 owner I must warn you of the main bearings in the cars. Pre 2011 especially.

Or they could drop the ball and make the car longer, add adaptive suspensions, so the family won't complain, etc. and follow the M3/M4 path.

Though seeing what they did w/the B58 in the X3M/X4M and X3MC/X4MC gives me hope.

Oh fully aware of the overstated rod bearings tons of info out there about it. Not concerned as I am fully aware of what to look for.

Good to know. I was thinking that'd make a great track car as the prices come down. Will do my research first.
