Guys running used Spec Miatas and Corvettes set up for track days are at every track every weekend. And they will be fast. But you will likely be the only guy running a Z28 when at the track and that will be part of the fun, at least to me (but you're listening to a guy with a "look at me" paint job running an ERL 500 cu in motor in a trackable car). Plus, even if tracked and assuming you keep it off the wall, a used Z28 will likely hold it's value better than your C6 ZO6 that has had the crap beat out of it at the track. But this last statement is pure conjecture.
Well said! No doubt the z28 is very unique. And so is its price
Just hope like heck nobody purchases one with an automatic assumption they will "blow all other cars to kingdom-come" LOL! Given a ZL1 was ONLY 3 seconds slower at GM's own testing track, one shod in R-comps will likely give it one heck of a run for its $18,000 price premium. Just a speculation of course.
