Sean, I tried the 235/45s Z1s when I first got my car, and my only memory is how much better the 235/40s felt when I put them on next.

Justin in the 370 will be your bogey, I think. Fresh RS3s and some confidence make a big difference.

Just drivers. After a while it's just not that fun to watch.

But if you can drive in Bay Area traffic you can handle this; someone will talk you through what you need to know in about two minutes.

Me too -- but my co-driver Mark already has a Focus ST, and I was eager to see how they stack up.

If I was picking a daily, I'd pick the Focus for sure. What a car.

If anything less "bite" is better (IMHO) as long as the car still stops well, because it allows you to weight the car's nose without upsetting the balance.

Agree -- even on 18s any time I've hopped in a friend's RX8 it was pretty easy to at least match my Scion's time.

But still think the 370z will run away from both.
