Dont have them on the Z06 or my other car (I run dedicated winter tires on my DD) but I have a couple of friends that just put them on their cars, I have also driven 1 of those cars (Audi A4 S line). They have alot of tread depth so they are a tad numb on initial feel, they are amazing in the rain and snow and still offer good feel in the dry once you commit them. With that being said I would not make them my first choice for a high performance car such as the Z06 unless its your daily driver and you are going to see snow occasionally (not sure where you are located), if you drive it daily and are in a good climate area where all you have to worry about is rain then I would suggest a performance summer type of tire as most of those offer decent rain performance while giving ulitimate dry performance.
Hope this helps you out some.

I don't have a comment on how the DW's perform yet. I've got some DW's on the way to get put on though. I've read enough on them to try them out especially when comparing prices to the GS or PS2's.
