Driving the Z slowly seems like a waste of an investment though, so I'm sad whenever I have to do it, whether it's because of traffic or because I'm going on a road with frequent cops. The Z is for pleasure first, transportation second for me, and my driving reflects that.

That is EXACTLY why I sold my Z06 and got into a car with a killer NAV system, nice interior, and BOSE sound system (not that it's all that awesome, but compared to what was in my Z06, it might as well be heaven's own choir). You can't always drive these kinds of cars like you want to sanely. You need something else going for the car to make it worth owning on long road-trips or in traffic.

Also, yes, I beat the crap out of my G20. I have to to merge.

My last car was a Camry; and, yes, you had to push it to have fun. I like the sound of Toyota's large(r) displacement 4-cylinder engine.

I usually try to be smooth & precise with my inputs while driving and practice technique. I never drift on dry roads, but love to in the snow.
It's enjoyable to drive at high speeds like you're in a race-car, but have to be careful of cops.
