So,
I have an up and coming trackday at Cadwell. Presently at the moment I have my 2.0 Z3. Which if I'm honest (and hopefully not with a torrent of abuse) may be the wrong Z3 to take to Cadwell. Personally for this track I'd imagine the light and nimble 1.9 would be the ticket. Anybody disagree? Don't get me wrong I imagine the M would be an absolute weapon but other than that and possibly all the other engines I may have the wrong one .
Tbh it's my first trackday and I'm going to just go out and enjoy it rather than trying to compete with anybody else. The bloke taking the race prepared TR6 can take the bragging rights.
I wish I could borrow my previous Smart Brabus Roadster for Cadwell. Can't think of anything that would such a hoot as that.
Anybody else taken a 2.0 around a track?

Ye I think it helps that they don't have the bulk of a 6 cylinder up front. I imagine they are a bit more light-footed and with Cadwell being quite a narrow circuit it'll suit it well.
I have driven the Z3 1.9 ZCAR EPIC and more fun than my Z3M on track

A standard 1.9 will not compete with a standard 2.8 even around Cadwell, it has got some long straights, race tuned with sport suspension would be a different story, when are yoyu there, I live around the corner from there but never done a track day, I have competed in a number of rallies that involved Cadwell, that was in a lump of an Opel Manta running a V8 and Cossie rear axle.
