Long story short, the mustang was WAAAAAYYYY behind me when we came out on the highway...poor guy...

So as far as the stock contis inducing understeer...never happens to me...
Nice ! U'll only see an improvement moving to bridestones or Toyos, etc..

To the OP, I do think the Z4 is excellent handling, maybee not the best out there say compared to the Boxster. But I will say compared to other roadsters out there like the S2K, SLK, Miata it is a good head and shoulders ahead. With one comment, I think the S2k feels the absolute sharpest in its steering response. Probably because of its size/weight.
