Message	Sure, if it’s your first time at the track and you’re learning to drive but it’s far from a race car… It took me a while t realize this… The Z is a street car, a daily driver, not a track or race car… There is way to much operational overhead trying to use the Z as a track vehicle…. In the end, you won’t get much seat time and will be paying largely from your wallet and your schedule fixing breaks while "trying" to get Fast.... Get a race vehicle if you want to race and go fast, get a Z If you want to look cool. Get a 240 if you are too cheap to get Z32 and are on a budget… Gary
