The question is whether he's buying a car to enjoy as a sports car, or if he's going wheel to wheel racing. There are many, many factors that go into ownership satisfaction beyond lap times. If that was all that mattered, I'd just suggest he buy a shifter kart. How many naive Z06 owners bought into that train of though only to drive it into a ditch? 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.
