I wonder how many of us are really good enough drivers to take advantage of a car like this beast.
I know that I am not. Not even close.
I know a couple of very good drivers who in the same car, can get around a 2 mile track about 10-12 seconds faster than me. Put one of those guys in a bone stock C5Z, put me in a 2009 ZR1, and they are *still* going to be faster than me, even spotting me 215 HP and (hopefully) much better suspension and brakes. Driver skill > 215 HP any day of the week.
That's not to say I don't still want one, of course
. Just that at some point, for many of us, it's not about going faster any more. I think that point is the C5Z for me. I doubt I'd do much better with a C6Z than I can do with a C5Z, and again probably not much better with a ZR1. The limiting factor for me at the moment is driver skill, not the car. I bet that's true for many of us, especially those of us who can't afford lots of track time.
So I end up wondering, of the 2000 of these they'll make per year, how many will end up in the hands of people who are *really* capable of taking advantage of the car's potential. A few, I hope...
