It’s the perennial question. Should you go for a BMW M3, or stretch to a base 911 Carrera?
More of a ‘sports coupe’ it may be these days, but the 911 is already giving notice that it remains the sports car of this trio, because I can see Jordan is able to thread it down this hillside sequence of random curves with the kind of confidence and point-and-squirt pace that is uncomfortably brisk from within the wider, loftier M3. That’s not to say the M3 isn’t effective, far from it, just that its size, weight and saloon car foundations eventually show.
When we stop for a chat and a swapover, Dickie – who had seemed cool towards the M3 initially – is very much a fan: ‘It’s a great feeling, playing with the poise and the balance. If there was a cresting corner you’d know it’s going to relax on its springs a little bit, and then it might slide, but precisely and predictably. Almost in a way that you don’t have to think about.
At one end of the spectrum, the Alfa’s almost lazy spring-rates and soft damper settings in comfort mode make it a wonderfully relaxing car to pad around in. There’s a fluidity to it that has become extinct in German performance cars, one that apes thein how it relaxes and goes with the flow – a quality that often seems to have a correlation with the driver’s heart rate, too.
Unlike the BMW, the Alfa needs the vertical support from its firmest damper rates for this challenging Dales road, even if they make the ride a little choppy: it’s the only way to protect the underside on the sudden compressions, but it also requires you to select Race and do without any electronic safety net, which certainly focuses the mind. The brakes are powerful, but the initial response is a bit snatchy, denying the sort of flow that characterises the other two cars.
