Don't kid yourselves, it's a great car, but maybe 10 of the 2000 sold will see a track day.

I disagree, and here's why.
In 1993 and 1994 Porsche built a 911 model called the RS America. The car was built as a street legal track car. It had uprated suspension, brakes, aero, wheels and tires. It also had significantly reduced weight from deleted AC, power steering, radio/stereo, cruise control, sunroof etc. Rear seats were removed and replaced with light weight carpet. Even the door handles were replaced with cloth pull straps. Porsche built only 701 of these cars, but did people hoard them as garage queens and collector items? Hell no. Virtually all of them saw track duty. When I started doing track days in 1996 I would see several of these cars at every event I attended. Even today almost 20 years after they were introduced I can’t go to a PCA event without seeing at least one running around the track. Many have been modified into full blown race cars.
Why should it be any different with the Z/28?
