As much as my wife and I both want the TT, we did the right thing and bought an EV instead. It doesn't handle or feel like the TT or the Supra, but it has enough power and traction to make up in a straight line. Plus my days at the track are limited at this point, so I took the practical route over the fun route. I am going to miss the looks and feel of a sports car, but I really like the flexibility of AWD and instant torque. I cant believe the amount of traction I have with these AWD cars out of the corner. There is no way my Z could keep up even with a drip of moisture. I should say that it rains like 10 time a year here, so it's probably pointless to have it. Still,  I do miss how close I was to the Z after 9 years. With the new car, I feel like a kid learning how to walk again. Of course the virus thing put a damper on any sort of drive. I drove the car 400 miles in 3 weeks.

Have fun shopping!

I also miss my Z. I should have not sold it but the wife wanted a SUV so I did bought her one! Now she wants a divorce!!! Lol
Well I have to agree with your comments about the Corvette vs the TT and 370Z
I liked driving the Z better at the dragon I feel confident and probably drove faster than the Corvette its like driving a very fast tank.. not that is heavy actually the C7 is lighter than the Z yet with shorter WB the Z is nimble and composed.
The C7 has rediculous power but it wasn’t as fun as the Z. Yes the c7 is a looker.
But nobody drives it faster than 70 miles at the highway! Otherwise you get a snare of a look from grandpa!
Again nice write up.. I wonder how the R8 v10 feels like?  |
I had a C6, I sold it to get my Z (after another disaster named RX-8). I know the C6 was faster than the Z in every way, but I never got comfortable with it and I could never tamed that beast the way I wanted. I think I lost control in the Z only a handful of times in the Z in 9 years, I think I spun my C6 Z51 more than that in 2 or 3 months. It was bizarre how I never got comfortable with it. I just hope I can tame the new car and not end up with another Z (I went from 350 to C6)
