If that keeps happening, I suggest you get a TR6 to restore!

Rhino, how would you like to push the latest Mustang V8 convertible it only weighs... 4000Lbs!
The "happiest" Porsche video that I ever saw on the net was of the guy in a Mustang Cobra convertible doing 155mph on the autobahn as he kept up with 2 Porsche CGT's....until the traffic cleared.
I dont think that many Europeans know this, but Ford in the US actually stands for Found On Road Dead.

FWIW, Egypt happens to build BMW's, Jeep Wranglers and M1 Abrahms tanks. Something for all checkbook sizes!
Jim, any idea on the MSRP for the tank, and are they taking deposits?

General tip for future discussions: Guys in the Middle East should refrain from making any comments that could possibly be interpreted as anti-American. Guys in United States should refrain from bashing the Middle East or Islam. Perhaps 100 years from now we won't need this reminder. But I kinda doubt it . . .

Since you despise BMWs and Porsches so much, you might reconsider your attendance here. It's obvious that our sheer ignorance is really bugging you and us not seeing the light and buying Chevies is really getting on your nerves. Now, let me just state that I would take an M6 or a standard 997 over a C6Z any day. No snobism here, but the mere thought of being associated with ignorant souls such as yourself is making me cringe.
You don't like this board? Fine. However, unless you have some useful input, please refrain from posting such repetitive and downright childish comments. You sound like a ricer, revving his VTEC Honda and turning on 'da Nawz'.
Seriously, look at 95jersey. The man loves Corvettes, but can actually back up his statements, which are nowhere near as childish as yours and has loads of experience. Not saying that you don't, but from what you're displaying here, all I see is trash talk from a disgruntled Corvette owner with an inferiority complex.

There is ONE single thing I don't understand and maybe somebody can enlighten me because I really have absolutely no clue: I'm a Porsche addict, probably a hardcore one. I love Porsche cars and although I don't like everything Porsche does or offers, my heart is with them.
But I would NEVER EVER go to a Corvette, Ferrari, whatever discussion forum and start to give my opinion on other cars, especially not by telling people how great my Porsche is and that THEIR cars stand no chance.
So here's the thing I don't get: why would a Corvette Z06 owner come to a Porsche forum and tell us how great his car is and what crap we actually drive? Sorry, I don't understand. From a medical psychological view, I agree that this may have to do with some sort of inferiority complex. But on the other hand, I wonder if this isn't just the result of primitive childish behaviour of some adult(s) who aren't satisfied with their life, car, marriage, business, whatever?! I don't want to offend anybody but I think that Z06 owners coming here to tell us how great their car is and that it can outrun a car (997 TT) which haven't even been reviewed yet by ANY car magazine on this planet, should really have a reality check.
Maybe I would understand such behaviour if there would have already been a direct comparison between both cars somewhere in a car magazine, no matter how trustable. Personally, I still wouldn't do it. But right now, all we have of the 997 Turbo are some pictures, some technical specs and nothing more. And Z06 owners claim the Z06 is faster, funny. Based on what? Wishful thinking?
Yes, the Z06 is fast, very fast. It outruns the 996 Turbo and Turbo S. And judging from our experience (not our fantasy ), it shouldn't have too many problems wiht outrunning the manual version of the 997 TT by a small margin. On the straight line and on dry pavement.
But the 997 Turbo is available in other "flavours" too, including Tiptronic and Sport Chrono Package. And as soon as the streets get wet, dusty or snowy, the 997 TT is by far superior. I can't say much about track capability, this is something we still haven't figured out but we're sure that sooner or later, we'll have the numbers. And honestly, I don't have a clue who is going to be faster on the track.
As a last hint: Porsche tested products of their competitors during 997 Turbo development, among them a F430 and a M6. And although the don't seem to consider the Z06 a direct competitor, they didn't overlook it.

Did you, by any chance, notice that this post was started by someone who, for what ever reason, is knocking a Chevy salesman, and is bringing up the P-Car vs Z06 comparison.
It was NOT started by some Corvette guy coming on your forum! And anyone who does not like the comparisons, (and there ar many who don't), just don't read and/or respond to them. And, by the way, there are many Porschephiles that come on the Z06 forum and spout off. And that is just fine with me...freedom of speach is welcome everywhere.
