I had a 350Z as my track car up until my MZ4 Coupe was delivered. Trust me, the rear visibility in the Z4M is worse. Make sure you have a buddy stand around you when you back up in the paddock.

Although you will be rewarded in the Z4M in that fresh out of the box it'll likely be faster than your 350Z by leaps and bounds. I have had suspension, anti-roll bars, brakes, intake, exhaust, header work, R-comps and just about $10,000 worth of stuff in the 350Z and by lap 3 in the Z4M (with stock Contis) it was already significantly faster than the 350Z.

Enjoy your E86 M4oop.

Good luck with that. The production numbers are so low on the M4oop that it's hard to find companies willing to make the investment knowing that they most likely won't make that money back when, at most, they'll be able to sell to 800 customers if EVERY M4oop owners in the United States bought one.

Functionally, there's very little wrong with the M4oop's aerodynamics. the biggest problem is the coefficient of drag on this car, but there's very little lift at speed. Even at triple digit speeds at California Speedway, there's more than enough down-force at 120+ mph up on the banking turn. Aesthetically is another question. Like I said, it's hard to get anyone to want to make a kit for this car. You're better off finding someone that can custom make something for you. Too much investment for too little return, if you ask me. But maybe that's just me.

OEM there are stock aero side skirts and a carbon roof spoiler (which is nothing more than a tiny little gurney flap).

Aftermarket, there are parts from ACS, Hammann, and Hartge. I think some of the ACS stuff looks good, but it's totally personal preference.
