On the road you won't notice too much difference unless pressing on very hard.

Most difference will be on track, but still should have similar overall capability unless in the hands of a real wheelman.

I've followed one or two very quick ones over time.

biggest noticable difference between the two will be skuttle shake on rough roads, but small price to pay for cabrio capability IMHO

Would have thought so, but far from specialist on BMW's i'm afraid.

I had a mk2 gt3 before the present cab4s, in certain conditions ( not on a track) the 4s covers the ground in a very rapid manner and imo is not to be dismissed lightly when comparing the two. I`m so impressed that to make the gap negligable it`s off to Parr Porsche for the JRZ coilover setup later this month.
