Most people drive street cars. Most people's major concern is how fast they can get down the street (usually a 3 lane highway cutting in and out of cars). This is not the car for them. This car is going to be, objectively, slow. Many people in 370Zs subscribe to this. Many people in 370Zs don't drive their cars hard enough to know that the diff overheats because it's tucked too far up into the body and the oil gets too hot because Nissan was a little ambitious with it's lubricating needs.
Every so often I get to drive a 550whp blown C6. That's a goddamned riot. However, that's a riot in a straight line and down the highway. It has MT ET Streets on the back and would probably overheat and/or blow up within 15 minutes of the first session of an HPDE. And that's if I didn't spin the car because the drag radials would keep rolling over on their sidewalls.
Some of the most fun I've had in a car was tossing a Honda Fit Sport down a mountain road backroad. The only thing I wished for, while doing this, was tires with a little bit stiffer sidewall because they got a bit squirmy. Unfortunately, going back up the mountain road was an exercise in frustration.
The FRZ86 will be a hoot in and of itself. Mash throttle and hang on is not the only way to get your rocks off in a car. My eventual garage includes both a lightweight tossable fun car for laughs and a C6Z06 for when I want to drive something permanently set on KILL. They do different things, but are both fun in different ways.
