I understand, but like you said...I'm not using that 505bhp all the time. Where I am moving to, it "has no place" because of all the mountain roads, etc. with sharp corners and whatnot. I would only use 2-300whp of it for the most part during my "spirited" drives, so then it comes to a point that I am paying for things I am not using.

It's flat here where I live now, except for on/off ramps. Power is all that matters for the most part here. Not so much where I am going (Fayettville, AR).

Then I have the other issue...what next? A SRT-10? I mean, I can't keep living in the 6-7#/bhp range on my income and still expect to buy the 30-50 acres and house I want. Compromises must be made. There will be a time to be a dirty old man in a car too fast for him later on in life. The Z06 was a "I want to do it once, and to insure this, I will do it now!" type thing. Love it, but it's time to move on from this, too.

I don't know if that makes sense to you or you agree with it, but it's clear to me?
