Z06 is bad ass! No live axle going to handle with it. I was raised in a garage. Dad and I always suspension tested all the cars we fixed. Every gen of Camaro, Vette, Mustang, Even some exotics like Jaguars, Panteras, and Porsches.

Good times. We built quite a few of our own toys, dirt track raced for a decade or so, drag raced for another.

The biggest difference was in the front, it'd turn with little pushing at speeds way over what I was use to.

And then AH works great too, I got way sideways (power oversteer..), and was able to catch it with minimal fuss.

I read the Road and Track reviews of the base model Vs Z06 Vs ZR1. I so want to drive one. My brother had a 89 we tricked out. It was way cool. And we used it up good. It could run with my Nova 454 at the strip. I would launch him into oblivion and then he would scream by at 1000 ft. Good times.

I have driven the crap out of cars on the road, but never gotten one out on a road course. It is something I would love to do. I roadraced bikes for years and on those tracks I cannot imagine racing cars side by side!
