FWIW, a friend of mine has driven a Z06 at The Glen. This guy's a seasoned DE instructor, having owned and driven everything from a 914, 951, 964, Boxster and 911 Cup car on the track.
Frankly, he was very unimpressed with the Z06, especially after going through the brake pads after half a day!
While he liked the acceleration of the car down the straights, it wasn't the most nimble in the corners.
Of course, I am seeking to verify this guy's opinions: perhaps Marc should lend me that Z06 for the weekend....

) and having driven one on the street I can say it's plenty nimble for a street car. Where it really shines though is high speed corners... it demolishes just about anything on the road there... not to mention in the straights!!Even more exciting to drive though were two Factory Five spec racer cobras... they just shouldn't be allowed to be legal... I felt guilty driving that thing
Ok, so maybe I "bent" the laws a wee bit, but still.... wow. thats about the only word to describe it!-Kevin
