It's performance is well beyond what can sensibly be used on most public streets, and I've seen very few @ DE's.

BTW, maint. came up, and I have to dispel the Myth of Porsche maint. It took one $200-$230 oil change per year, and that's it. Tire wear was great since the car is so well balanced. I'm convinced that maint., tire/brake wear, etc. will be more on the Z06.
Yeah that's all cool and stuff as long as you understand that you're car is not king. LOL

Besides, they liked the R8 chassis better than the Porsche, granted it's the same company.
