This guy sums it up pretty well. Although he is wrong about the suspension. It's not m3 suspension, just ///M suspension components.

First off, big thank you to ELCID86/Shawn for letting me experience his ZHP and for giving me pointers on what to look for when inspecting one firsthand! The video is just a short example of what the ZHP got out of me multiple times...excitement and a big smile as Shawn can attest to. I definitely can agree with many of the points made in this thread. My absolute favorite thing about the car was the sound...that I6 exhaust note, the RWD, the thick wheel/being able to feel everything through it and the twistie roads we were on made me feel like I was at the track even though I was not even going that fast! (well..."fast")
Anyway, driving as well kept an example as Shawn's definitely humbled me to the fact that I really need to put time into my search. The driving experience was comfortable, fun, exciting and definitely something I want in my life. That said, the buying experience should be similar. As Shawn told me, "If it doesn't feel right, forget about it." Words that can apply to a lot of situations in life...

Big ups to Shawn for making this happen for you, Daniel.
Second, imagine what it would feel like with a proper great box... ;-)

Awesome that Shawn hooked you up with some seat time. I test drove one at the beginning of my e46 search and knew that ZHP was the way to go.
Nice job fellas!
