[QUOTE="wilyvet, post: 80487, member: 2349"] TFX International delivered my new Z06/Z07 a few days ago. For those interested in buying a Z06, some impressions I didn't get from reading the magazine road tests: driving in "Tour" mode only so far, the seat and ride are surprisingly comfortable (I should have flown to Toronto and driven it back to Edmonton); the steering is very light and lacks feel (maybe that changes in Sport or Track modes); compared to my 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder, the gear shifter is notchy and vague (sometimes difficult to tell what gear you've selected without looking at the dash display). The Z06's radio is audible, unlike the Spyder's. The Z06 is everywhere quieter than the Spyder, but at highway speeds the tire noise is intrusive - that might be solved by mounting tires other than the Michelin SC2s that come with the Z07 package. Despite being forced to stay below 4000 rpm for break-in, there is a source of entertainment, even in Tour mode. While driving along the quiet paved two lane near our acreage, I noticed a neighbour's black cat at the side of the road ahead (happy season for cats - fledgling birds out of the nests, on the ground before learning to fly) . Slowing, I then accelerated past the cat to time the 3rd gear 3000 rpm bark of the muffler bypass ... jerked the slack out of the cat. What could be more fun than that? [/QUOTE]
