It is the first car I have driven on the track, including many race cars, that did a 100 MPH average lap.

I think your ability to enjoy the amazing capabilities and driving experience of the Z06 on a weekly basis also depends on where you live. It's not my daily driver and I wouldn't buy one for that, I generally only drive it on weekends and track events. I'm lucky to live 5-10 minutes from Mulholland Drive and other so cal canyons where I drive responsibly and open it up some where there are no driveways or traffic--the turns are incredibly fun. I don't speed over 80-90 on busy LA freeways like I see so many knuckleheads doing... I don't understand the point of that, excessive speed on busy multilane freeways is one of the most irresponsible douchebag things people do.

If I lived in a city where the only turns were the intersection corners of blocks, I would not enjoy driving my Z06 as much. But I would still take it to track days as much as possible
