Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec, Opinions/review

I was actually tempted by the Tirerack price , the Dunlops are 133$ US a piece .Price is also a factor in my decision .The  Potenza RE-01R  are much more expensive .Last year I got a set of Contisport Contact 3 but I'm keeping them for day-to day driving . I got them for 149$ US each . I will use the Dunlops for the track . I loved my original Conti's but they're just worn now so I'll have to be more careful on the track if I don't want to take the tow truck back home .
But question is : has anybody used the Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec or know someone who's tried them ? I wonder how do they behave and how long did they last .

Just in case you weren't aware, you should know that in addition to the 133 tirerack charges for the tire ... they will also collect the following (based on 4 tires):

Shipping to Canada: 106 USD
GST: 30 USD
PST: 56 USD
Duty: 37 USD
Brokerage: 30 USD

So, in USD that tire that began at 133 is now 198 - and still US dollars - with exchange that's more than 250 per tire ... there's gotta be a cheaper Canadian alternative.
