I guess that after doing track days and watching the vettes smoke me on the Road America straights, I find myself very curious about ownership. I was actually strongly considering swapping the Z for a used 2006 Z06 that a guy in my building owns. I suppose the grass always seems greener, but having a faster car doesn't mean it's more fun to drive. (e.g. a Miata)
The car is not as precise in handling as the Z thanks to the soft suspension and the massive torque off the corner. It actually feels more like the 350 than the 370 in terms of its rawness. Personally, the amount of power freaked me out because I realize the faster you go, the harder you are going to fly off the track if you ever run into that situation....
