The corvette and camaro have been computer programmed into being good. Electric lsd, steering sensors galore, intelligent correcting left and right. Those have become poor man's Porsche's from an electronic standpoint. As the years grow I'm really beginning to appreciate the Z34 as the last analog car. It truly achieves a balance the rest can't. When people say there corvette is superior to a Z in every way, they are not realizing they have WAY MORE electronics controlling their back wheels than a GTR has controlling 4 wheels.
When we MOD our Z's we are building an old school'is car. A REAL car and I LOVE IT!!!
Our electronic steering shuts off after 20mph so navigation through a parking lot or something that facilitates slow driving is easy. After 20Mph. It shuts off and we have hydraulic steering. These cars today. Always electronic.
YUCK!!!
Something to think about.

You are so spot on and why I love the car. I see guys in the new corvette and one guy in particular in a NSX that are really fast around the track, but their lines suck. The car bails them out of their bad driving habits. One guy posted a video of him smoking around the track in c7 and a couple of instructor lit him up because of his poor car control and course management. The one instructor was like you need to lear how to properly use your throttle as you can see the traction control ligh comes on every time you exit a turn. He told basically that he needed to slow down and learn type to drive so that he could turn off or down the nannies so that he could go faster.
