As a result, you can hammer the brakes on any road, without any concern for what may happen. It is also perfectly balanced and is extremely responsive to either steering or throttle inputs, in a corner. With good tires, you'd be amazed at the cornering speeds you can generate. You can push one a lot harder on the street safely than you can a 911 because they are so viceless. Where they really shine is on corner entry, where you are starting a turn while still hard on the brakes. You'd have to drive one and experience it yourself to believe it. Traction is also outstanding, as a limited slip was standard. It's really hard to believe the difference between a standard 3-series BMW and one of these. They drive completely different.
