Way i figure it one track day = lawyers fees for one winding out third gear speeding ticket.

Only problem with track days is one usually winds up wanting more power!

Maybe its the track day junkies like me trading up for some ZL1 goodness...
Lord knows i've thought about it.
Oh man, the C5Z is PLENTY for me. It's gonna take me quite a few sessions to master that thing around a road course. Especially Pacific Raceways, my home track. It's scary. Don't want to mess up there.
A ZL1 would be so fun but dang is that car heavy. It would wear me out! It's probably got a half ton over my Caddy and this thing is already too much of a pig at 4k lbs.
I can't lie though; accelerating out of the bend and hitting the straight with that 580hp would be AMAZING. Even more so with 650hp. I think even that race track wouldn't allow it's potential to be realized. You'd need the Mulsanne straight!
