I suppose the grass always seems greener, but having a faster car doesn't mean it's more fun to drive. (e.g. a Miata)
I have many racing friends with Corvettes, and several of them are Z06's. They destroy me on the straights so I enjoy the challenge of catching them in the braking zones and the corners (running equal tires). On the more technical tracks it is usually a pretty close race lap time wise, but any track with long straights is a killer. Because of the extra speed they are even harder on brakes than we are.
