That's OK, I'd have to say that I do the same thing (drive the BMWs more aggressively). I think it is the RWD and overall balance of the car that makes us feel that way. But, it's how you behave toward *other* drivers that would be more on point to this discussion, and I assume that you treat them the same regardless of which car you are in, right Kevin? I mean, you are the guy in Maine, right? How agressively do they *ever* drive up there? > > Kevin Rhodes > 91 BMW 318is (M3 Jr, same suspension, 40 less hp, 200lbs less wieght) Was the '91 318is an E30?
