I do plan on taking up some track days with the Wife as a hobby. Your argument is only valid if it is something you are happy with. I am unhappy with this two step pedal feel. Getting braided lines, new pads, and brake fluid is not what I consider expensive or drastic. I feel the same about the oil cooler as well. My chances of cooking the oil on an errand run are nil, but I am not comfortable seeing my oil hit 250F when I am driving in Las Vegas and it's only 75F outside. Granted I was driving slightly spirited, but who doesn't at one time or another? What happens when temps coming off the road are well over 130+ and it's 110+ outside?

To be honest, the brake fade, oil cooler, and buzzy exhaust note at high RPM almost swayed me into buying a Camaro SS because I knew that car did not have those issues. Granted it has problems of it's own ie: weight & soft suspension. I felt the Z was a better overall as a "sports car". It costs a whole lot less to do what I am doing to my Z as opposed to trying to make the SS handles remotely close to how the Z does.
