SciFrog, I did not mean it was as you say "trackable", I merely pointed out that it is capable of more than a brief stint of high performance that will be sufficient off the track. If it can do even 5-10 minutes of flat-out laps, it will be adequate in the real world. I know the streets of Europe can be a bit different than the United States, but 10+ minutes of flat out, track-like driving is not easy to find on a day-to-day basis. The comment about the NR is purely academic. If roads we like the NR, the NR wouldn't be called the NR and no one would care about it. I can't think of any unrestricted roads where you could drive flat out for 15 miles that aren't just straight lines. 

If you live anywhere remotely urban, I don't think the Model 3 will run into any performance-sapping issues. I think it will be more than capable of providing a fun drive no worse than M and AMG cars. Now whether cars like the BMW M3 are still considered sports cars is another matter.
