It depends on a lot of factors really. Both standard on original suspension?
They would be a good match i'd of though.

I drove the hardtop coupe z4 3.0si when I was looking for an MR2 replacement. It is definitely faster but even compared to it, I'd sooner be in an MR2 on track. Way too numb for track. Cool car, but so docile.

Re: trackday speculation...mr2 na vs z4 2.5
I was the OP of this thread. Having now done a couple of trackdays i can confirm how suprised i was with the mr2 in standard form. Mines got exhaust and filter, elise seats and a pair of harnesses.
Caterhams are untouchable and follow lines only a caterham can...
But, i was comfortably getting past impreza turbos, an s2000 and even an m3. Admitadly its 99% to do with the driver. Stick to good lines and wait for people to make mistakes!... i loved it! Really hooked!
