Plus the t56.... way more durable.

I had a ton of fun and gained a lot of experience with my C5z and thought I'd try something different with the brz (had four lsx vehicles prior). I should've bought another vette, honestly. The whole slow car fast mantra here is overused. Imo it's much better to drive a fast car slow..... and be able able to go fast rather than a slow car always being slow except during certain conditions. Especially conditions that would favor the fast car anyways.

Also, comparing a sports car like the Corvette to a v8 pony car is not a fair comparison.

The brz isnt a bad car, but the c5z is a GREAT car.

I agree. Consumables on the C5Z06 are cheap and it's really not that fast where street driving is an issue.

I like my BRZ and drive it both on the street and track.. but I also drive my ZL1 1LE on the street and track. It doesn't have "too much" power for the street, you just don't need to rev it to drive it around. Having excess capacity isn't that bad of a thing...
