I had no problems at this track keeping up with the vette. Then again, this was 1.3mi track with almost no straights...

the car is meant to be driven. My car has seen redline at least every 5 miles of its 57k mileage. It has been chirped through gears countless times. Launched over 100 times at over 2500rpm and sometimes over 4000rpm. It has been sideways countless times and very hard driving in the canyons with late braking and many types of stresses on the chassis. I am a maintenance freak though. The car went through a tranny once because of 5th gear grinding and other than that it has been running like a clock.
Some of the comments on this thread make me laugh out loud. Especially that rain comment.

The G just stays in the garage with about 5 coats of wax looking all pretty.
Every now and then it gets some dust so I give it a spritz and chamois it down. If it's a nice sunny dry day, I let her out of the garage...haha.
I look for reasons to use the G and go across town to buy something that I could buy just buy in a near by shopping center.
