But there is something about the RX7 and the older 3-series cars--you
can toss them around. They are lightweight and pivot well.
Never drove a three series seriously. My first car bought new was a '68 BMW 1600*. higher rear end ratio, so about as
fast as the new 2002, cheaper, and I didn't have to wait. In the dry, what you say is true. I ate up the pre Z Datsuns,
MGBs and such on the windy roads. But the weight distribution was wrong for a rear drive car. On snow/ice, the rear end
had a mind of its own, with bad ideas.
I imagine they at least partially corrected that in the three series, but it's
something to check for folks in snow country.

* Every reference will call it a 1600-2, for two door, but the badge, manual,
etc. just said 1600.
I like
that. If I just wanted 1/4 mile times, I'd buy an ugly Mustang.
