I let friends try out my car at track events (mostly BMW and Porsche Club driver-ed) and they are really impressed with:
- the view FROM the cockpit (like a go-kart)
- the stiffness of the chassis
- the grunt in second gear, and VTEC sounds
- the feel of the controls, particularly steering and shift lever
- the brakes (I have a BBK)
- on-track, how the car "does what you tell it to do - right away". not necessarily true of some German cars
The German cars tend to have great brakes, and superior luggage/storage space. And if you keep the revs in hand, deceptively quick.
