And so much more.. Like?

The ZL-1 will spank them right out of the Dealership... So what you are spending in extra money(5000), all Z car owners must spend to still be slower...

Sounds like money well spent..
The ZL1 also costs almost double what I paid for my Z, and weighs over 600lbs more. Sounds like you drank that Kool-Aid pretty good :-p

But you have a 370Z and it looks great....So much better than a 350Z..

If we hadn't already had a white Car, we may have gone with a White 370Z..

They look great

Notice the cars I own...No Koolaid needed..

And with only 30K Dollars into my 40 year old car that IS track ready, I can embarrass many a 370Z on the track all day long...

For the price of the ZL-1 , I have two cars..

And here's my former collection.



So don't think I'm some Camaro hater or something :-p. My point is just that the arguments about this ridiculous sum to get on the track are kinda silly - the cost to get the Z track ready is less than $1000, total. That's chump change for someone getting on the track - you should know this. This isn't "a lot of work" - its a weekend at most, and for many could be all be done in a single day.

There was a new gunmetal ZL1 at the car show this morning. I'll get some pics up when I get unlazy. It was nice.

The perfect car to START HPDE-ing with. It's going to take you a lot of weekends just to get even remotely close to maxing your skills out with that car in STOCK form lol.

Easier to learn to drive a slow car fast, than it is a fast car fast.

I wouldn't say that's necessarily true. It's fine learning on a powerful car as on long as you have a lot of open space to spin and not hit anything.
