It doesn't have the same steering feel, numb, and is heavier than the FRS. I just like how easy the FRS is to drive hard in twisty roads. Maybe I didn't drive the Z06 long enough.

I also hated the color of the Z06. Bright ass yellow. Bleh.

The new C7 is pretty sexy. When I get my weekend car it'll be a C7 or an M2.

Or I'll just get even crazier in the FRS and buy a Golf or something to daily.

congrats, I almost did the same, but got a 991 S instead. 2012 with 9000 miles. had to narrow it down between 2 new caymans and the 991, and all 3 were basically the same price.
