Think about it, if you spent the $120,000 to buy a 911 turbo you would get an unbelievable track car that you could use as a daily driver and enjoy it in all conditions. If you bought a z06 for the $75,000 it would cost you would then be hard pressed to find a daily drove with the same sporting and luxury that you are offered in the 911. Of course this doesn't even include other factors such as resale value and build quality.
Ironically the Z06 IMO just demonstrates why americans still cannot get cars right. Its always one extreme or the other. You either get a great track car thats brutal on an actual road or you get a big heavy powerful car that is utterly useless if braking or handling is required. European cars get the prices they do because they manage to combine great performance with great driving

Breaking the rules of the thread? well, you did mention something about ol' Shitty Tiff Needel
So... if the Z06 is so undrivable on the road, how com ethere are so many Z06's driven
EVERY DAY on the road... i'm not talking 10's, but 1000's! Perhaps your view is as misdirected as the journalists who said the CGT's clutch is tricky?? So much is lost in the press-core's hands to translate it for the enthusiast who may never sit in one, let alone drive...
