I followed this forum for about a year prior to me purchasing my car. Needless to say, after hearing all the negatives (rough ride, hard to handle, no traction control, extreme heat in cabin, etc.) I almost decided against buying one. I remember when it rolled off of the transport, I was nervous pulling out "waiting" for something to happen like the rear end coming around or something. I was in a ........"prepare for the worst hope for the best frame of mind." Well, none of my fears became reality! This car is a blast to drive! I wouldn't call the ride rough, just alittle stiff. You want a rough ride and hard to handle ......try the Jeep Cherokee that I just got rid of! I've owned fast cars before (albeit alittle more refined and more forgiving) but you just need to "respect" this car's HP & torque. And we can discuss the new Z06 versus this car all day. But one thing the Z06 can't hold a fiddle to when compared with this "piece of artwork" is the rush of air in your face when the top is dropped! I just got back from a quick ride along the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in SoCal and the smell of the ocean and those cool ocean breezes, Oh my!......
