I have driven a 3.7L Roadster, unlike my 3.0L one it wasn't nice.
I hope the accident wasn't serious.
My view is that that engine shows up the limits of the chassis and coupled with the way power is delivered the back end always seems to be on edge, ready to take over it you let your attention slips. In the cold and wet I'll bet it is just waiting to bite the unwary.
The BMW M140i is going for much the same reason: the back end is on edge and on anything but a dry road I just don't trust it not to bite.
Tarka is different, the capability of the chassis and the grip at the back means I can make the back step out, but it never feels as it it wants to be in charge.
