Back end was always hopping, tires sucked and brakes went after second event. You have to be a vette guy to really appreciate that car. As far as bang for the buck, you can't beat it. When I drive my M its like I'm part of the car. When I drove the Z, it felt as if it decided where I was going to go and I was just there for the ride. For me to have kept that car I would have had to change the seats, steering wheel and install all new suspension. I just could not do that after paying 60k for the car so I sold it and pretty much got back what I paid. You have to really drive the Z06 for a while and then drive the M3 to understand where I'm coming from. Good Luck.

Good post
You make very valid points. Did you track the car on the runflats? Ugh. I can definitely understand where you are coming from, it is indeed a very intimidating (and demanding) car to drive.
