Well, since he asked about Pilotis, I will give him my opinion on Pilotis.
I have the prototipo, in race yellow and black. I get a lot of good feedback on the looks. Guys want the shoes, chicks dig 'em
Driving wise, I can safely say that I'm highyl dependant on the shoes now. I can no longer drive with my adidas or nikes. The difference is the soles. On the Pilotis, they are made more stiff, so you can depend on the balls of your feet to work the pedals instead of stabbing them with your toes -- which in my opinion is good.
Heel toe with the shoes is much easier witht he added grip on the side of the shoe, but any shoe can heel toe fine. Comfort on the street is great. I've never had sore feet because of them. They are comfy, and they look great. I recently stepped in mud so I'm going to have to go buy another pair and probably some DTMs as well. Pilotis treat me good.
