As close as I have gotten to this relationship with a car, and certainly as only a fantasy, is to imagine driving a V-12 something, particularly an older Ferrari. There has to be a zone where the seat, wheel and controls, along with the feel of the road, are the primary inputs with no regard for the exterior that encases your command at the helm.

My Zen is no abs, no computers, car suspension and power train tuned by me to my desires.
Everything completely mechanical and driver dependent.
There is no Zen for me when at the limit the nannies start to soften the acceleration, control the braking or slow the corner speeds.
Any computer aided intrusion eliminates any chance of Zen.
How can you get to automotive Zen with a computer that manipulates each wheel independently, where ABS, traction control and stability control are all computer controlled.
C8 does everything better.
My old C5Z still looks great too.
