People, sometimes fans, will rationalize just about anything, but at some point a reasonable person will decide no. A z/28 was fantastic for repeated laps, but not a practical daily. M4 gts the same. New cars/technology CAN let you have your cake and eat it too, but just the same, the line can be crossed into track-only. Oh, it may be "street legal", but it's really only in name or concept when it crosses the line. So that's the real question. If you plan to track it, this isn't really a debate. If you plan to track it and do anything outside of the track, it is.
i would personally get a turbo s, double the comfort, be faster in every real world scenario and still run a 7:30 without any exertion... oh yeah, that would be on regular old michelin PSS
