I placed my deposit last July and I'm eagerly awaiting for the dealer to contact me back. I've been pretty much set with the specs of the car from the beginning, except the suspension. This will be by 3rd, or perhaps even 4th car. Not a daily but occasionally a daily (lets say Fridays). I hate traffic in Miami (or any large city) so much I seriously considered (and still do at times) an automatic box. Nevertheless I'm really torn with the suspension. I highly dislike cars with ultra hard/stiff suspensions. Realistically speaking, this car is most of the time going to be driven on the street, by far, probably on the weekends. On the other hand I'm almost quite a track rat. I do like to track my cars, and have been doing it for years. I have a manual e92 M3 with aftermarket springs and slightly lowered suspension, and is kind of painful to drive if the streets are not nice. What I've read so far is... Track car: Sport suspension. Daily: Touring suspension. Well I'm really kind of neither, or a little bit of both. I really wonder how much more fun (most important) or much faster (least important, but nice) would be the sport suspension on the track, or how painful it would be on the street. I'd be nice to know track times between both suspensions (again, I'm not racing but most people that tracks cars care about this) and how the car feels. Let says, If it's 5 tenths a lap faster in a medium length track and both are well planted, I'd likely go for the softer suspension... who cares about that lost time if not competing. I'd love to test drive them but I might not have a chance. Anyone in a similar situation?
