I finally got some seat time in an 08 yellow Z. The definitely need great tires. These were skinny and with the sneaky torque it made for an interesting ride. First and second gear are almost violent. I could light the tires with 2nd gear 60-70mph roll ons. It isn't until third gear you can actually put the hammer down. Cornering and handling are as expected but a little sharp on the edge of control. I write that off to tires and stiff shocks. The dealer told me 18K trade for the F250 which would get me into a Z for about 550 a month...
