Yes, the tail is a blast to tame. I've been there a few times.
For those that don't know, it's probably the most famous stretch of mountain road in North America. It's advertised as 318 turns in 11 miles. Located on the TN/NC border, near Great Smokey Mountain National Park.
And a Z06 would dominate a 350Z. Cars I typically see up there are S2000's, Vette's, RX7's. The highway has also been adopted by the Miata Sports Car Club of NC.

Oh, and just as a side note, do NOT try to prove anything there. You will end up killing yourself. First time I was there, a guy on a bike wiped out in front of me and we had to wait about 1 1/2 hours before any medical help arrived. No cell signals way up there....a friend had to drive back to the resort where they called 911. Then the ambulance has to drive there, and it can only do about 20 mph on those roads....a 45 min adventure in itself.
