Doubting myself and then saying F*** it! The Z should be badass right? Maybe I need to find a friend with a Z and take a drive to Santa Cruz ... explore the open road and maybe I'll fall in love!
I've passed on HWY 1 numerous times, where no one expected in a short span of road. Before they can prevent me, I am past them and gone.

The 370 will be close to a 997 Porsche base model. At least this is my experience from track days.
