Remember this, you don't really need a fast car out there on the Dragon, you just need a good handling car with good brakes  I too would rather be in the back of the pack, this way I can see all the action if front of me, cool

ooooh....that's gonna leave a mark. 
<war eagle!!!>
back to the topic at hand - i don't see myself leading a pack, that's for sure. i just replaced one of my rear tires thanks to a particularly devious nail, and i'd really rather not wear out a set of $300/apiece pilot sports any sooner than absolutely necessary! 
but, i AM looking forward to seeing how the G35 likes the dragon....  even if it is at 8-9/10ths instead of balls-to-the-wall, all-out speed.

Come on now Blake, your not going to push hard enough to eat a set of tires in a weekend, noone has ever done that...have they I'm sure some "spirited" driving will not ruin your tires and besides, you don't have to replace them with $300.00 per tires you know, theres many choices out there when the time comes  Who knows, you might not even have the car when its time to replace them so let the next guy worry about it
Now I have a question for the "experienced" Dragon slayers out there. Who has gone out there at night time and whats it REALLY like? The reason I ask is because I might be able to get up the nerve to do it, but I know its risky, but is it do-able using extra caution  I'm not trying to some wreckless idiot as I value my life and I'm sure my wife and kids would miss me! So, honestly, tell me what it is like.

Best analogy I can think of...at this late hour (rubs eyes):
Imagine you're in the wilderness & hungry, almost starving. Along comes a small black bear, also hungry. Black bear is good eatin' and you want to get him in a hurry because if he gets away you may starve. At the same time you gotta be really smart about it, cause IT could kill YOU too.
That is the rush of the Dragon at night - quite intense for the first time through - if you're not used to mountain roads. I'm not used to mountain roads, they're few & far between in Florida. Actually, there aren't any at all in Florida.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
