Seriously, that is WAY too much car for a first timer unless they are good students and listen real well. Even then, I'd be nervous in the passenger seat. I started with Supra TT's and while it was great fun, I wanted to use all the horses and as a result I went like crazy in the straights but continually screwed up the corners. Yup, an instructors worst nightmare. Thankfully, with some very good instructors I got the message and actually obtained instructor status. Looking back though, I'm not so sure that novice students should not all drive something like a BMW 318. Something that comes out of the box with great handling and good brakes but not an abundance of horses. It would be a superior "learning" vehicle in my mind. I still cannot believe how impressed I was with the new Z06 but that positive thought should be tempered with the fact that the driver was incredibly talented.

#219 of 221 I love my Z06 by revmatt Aug 03, 2008 (7:00 pm)
Of our three "toys," this is my favorite!
#220 of 221 Just bought my DREAM car.... by highender Oct 03, 2009 (11:03 pm)
a Z06 2004 Millineum Yellow fully modified .   Needs some work...only 1600 miles on odometer, as it was a SEMA show car.   I've always wanted a vette since 30 years ago....   Long wait...but worth it.

Replying to: gbjerke (May 10, 2008 3:36 pm) The stories are usually the same and what I hear recommended most often is to start with a Miata. Makes you learn momentum since you don't want to brake when you figure out how hard it is to get back the speed. Glad I started with the C5 , then again I took several professional driving schools in real track cars, that was what it took to get me past blasting down straights and muffing the corners.
