I have to say, while I've been very impressed by the raw power and fit and finish of my new Stingray, just driving around town or in traffic the car feels kind of big and a bit ponderous... always feel like I have to clutch and brake leaving stoplights as the Hyundai or Toyota in front of me tries to accelerate
Honestly I like driving my wife's Boxter around town (silver with red interior, please don't judge 
But on a nice long highway drive this weekend in the Stingray (had to see the Jays take 2 of 3 from the Yankee's) a few times I found a sucker in a GTI or Genesis coupe that wanted to show off and drive fast. Naturally I tucked in behind them and watched for their brakelights as they saw the state trooper by the side of the road. Anyway... once the car got up to 90 or 100 mph everything seemed to tighten up and feel in perfect control. The suspension followed the contour of the road and soaked up any bumps, the steering felt amazing like it was tracking the lane on its own. The engine finally felt like it found its sweet spot, it felt like the car was one of those big cats you see at the zoo... lounging around in the sun relaxing, and then... when it wakes up, you better run cause its scary fast and agile.
If you haven't had yours out on a nice clear road in triple digits, try and find the opportunity... I was very, very impressed. I know I have to find a track club now.
