Paradise on Wheels: 1990 Nissan 300ZX vs. Porsche 944 S2
They call it “The Streets of Willow Springs.” It’s a 1.3-miles asphalt snake; a miniature, 10-turn, simulated street course in the Mojave Desert, tucked into the foothills behind the main road course that is Willow Springs International Raceway. The Streets has a variety of tight corners, unsettling kinks, off-camber turns and esses, with just enough straight time in between each to allow a driver to throttle in a little extra excitement.

When BMW brought it back for the ultimate evolution of the current M4, it meant serious business. As the car's official Nürburgring lap shows, it is a seriously fast thing.
