I would buy a ZLE or Z model Corvette for track days however...as long as it's manual transmission equipped. That same car would be a back-road cruiser and I just can't give up rowing gears.
Yup. They have their uses, I would love a 2013 e90 M3 with a DCT for my daily driver.

Edit: The M3 in my profile has been sold. If it were a manual, I would still have it.
