They also have a little bit of anti dive and anti squat build into the suspension too.... good power, big brakes, adjustable coil overs, good weight balance....all equal a car thats easy to drive fast! Its also 5 inches lower than the M3 too & slightly wider too
Great car, I personally prefer front engined Porsche to any other though of all the modern ones I perfer either the Boxster or Cayman too the 997.

The toe in is minor but the affect is quite noticeable. As I said it's handling was ahead of the time and sadly so where it's looks, back then not to many people liked it but now with age it's a really good looking car.

P.S.
I can't remember what the weight balance was like, do you happen to know?
