The article confirms that the M3 and Alfa are suited to my needs - I'm not the "executive cruiser" C63 kind of guy... and I find the M3 more than comfortable enough (granted - I have the 437M 19" wheels - not the 666M wheels).

What surprised me is that they felt less confident in the track with the Alfa vs the M3 (Randy Pobst felt exactly the opposite).

Anyway - agree with above posts - what is "right" depends on your own particular priorities... I'll be curious to see how the reliability of the Alfa holds up over time.

I think it has to do with the Alfa not having any safety net at all on race mode, these reviewers are not professional drivers like Randy Pobst...
