The Z's VCS is extremely abrupt with no settings. Any arguments? Didn't think so

But if a car is tossable, and easy to drive at the limits to push the slip angles in an easily controlled way, it can be a lot more fun to some. Ref: Z06 vs base Vette with MR suspension driven at 80-90%.

As to the hype...

In a world full of boring sedans, sports cutes, and trucks ^D^D^D^D^D SUVs, two companies defy the business odds by releasing a 25K RWD sports coupe that has limited practicality.

When was the last time this happened? 350Z and RX-8 intros come to mind.

Its been a while.

Pretty much this. Raw grip isn't everything.
