The car really isn't bad to drive at the limit. It is way easier than the C6 Corvette I had. Heck the Corvette was so hard to drive that I got rid of it because I don't trust myself with it at the track. One thing I learned is that the faster the car, the farther you are going to fly off the track if anything were to happen. The Z car is a cakewalk compare to that. I spun 3-4 times in the Corvette and had 2 off track over 2 years. I have one spin and no off track in 3 years on the 370. It's really that much easier to drive.

Now, plenty of folks have noted how the car is scary at 10/10ths. I'll find that out, I'm sure, as I start hitting the tracks, which will happen soon. But as you folks pick the Z apart for its handling, realize that most people don't push it hard enough to make it an issue.

Not being a fanboy. Just an honest perspective from someone who probably doesn't drive as fast as the rest of you.
