the 70 percenter

I bought this car primarily for its mix of handling and grunt. I'm not a drag racer, I'm a corner carver.

I do push the handling on this car. I have no idea if I'm pushing it 70% or 100%, but the feel of knifing through apexes and then accelerating quickly out is why I chose the Z. And it does this very well. I even know a few routes with choice hairpin turns.

But whatever percent I'm at, it is only as fast as I feel the car comfortably operates. I have fishtailed a few times, but easily corrected because I wasn't going way too fast. For me, the lateral G's is the joy of the car. And I agree, you probably don't have to be pushing the limits to get that out of it.
