The Contemporary seems to like going 135+ (of course, race track only, Mr. Insurance Man, sir) better than 45. The car tracks nicely, and the sounds are incredible. As others have noted, however, it's flat amazing how easy modern technology has made it to go fast. I carry about 15+ mph more into turn one at Thunderhill in the Z06. But nothing hits you in the viscera like a Cobra, and that's what makes it what it is--wild, hairy, roaring, stomping, sideways fun. My Contemporary is sort of like a Harley, and the Z06 is more like a sport bike. Z06s and sport bikes come and go, but Cobras and Harleys are forever.
