Oh c'mon. I had Supra with a T-88 in it and it wasn't "challenging" until I hit 23psi at 80mph.

Even worse, I had an MR2 Turbo with a 20g pushing close to 500rwhp. That thing is a deathboat compared to the Z4M and I never had a problem.

Stop being so dramatic, these are street cars after all! ;P

OP, if you want to go fast, sell the Z4M and get something else. To me this car is about everything but brutal acceleration, I have no desire to make mine any quicker.
Yes yes. Very true. A mildly blown C6 Z06 will put down as much power as a Z4M with $50k in mods. There's squeezing the power out of the motor; getting the electronics to mate up; getting the power down; and having a short chassis meant to rotate, keep up with all of it. Better to add a proven supercharger while still enjoying everything that makes this car special.

There comes a point when more power isn't useful.
