Yeah, I wonder how many miles per tire I get in competition mode.

Thanks for the answers all. What's most impressive is the stability control, the car just goes where you "aim" it, regardless of the wheel spin.

I also own a 2001 Suzuky Hayabusa, where the issue there is keeping the front tire on the ground (I weigh 200lbs, so even leaning over the bars, the front end still comes up at about 40 to 45mph in 1st gear, which redlines at 81mph). With lighter riders, the front end will stay down if they lean over the bars. However there's no play in high-end bikes, and even if the front end lifts, the bike just goes straight in the direction it's pointed, so the Z06 is giving me a similar experience but with wheelspin instead of front end lift, really impressed with the stablity of high end vehicles these days.
