It's funny that it is mostly americans comparing the Z06 to porsche. Here in europe we hardly consider it as an option to porsche...
Because porsche is so much more than just performance...
Imagine how much horspower could get porsche with a V8 7.0 liter engine. Certainly much more than 500 HP.
It is the first time GM makes something performance wise with the competition. Took them long enough...But they needed many liters to get it on par.
Any how the Z06 is a great car at a great price, however, it is hardly comparble to a 997 TT except performance wise.
Let me give you and idea as to how truly clueless you people are when you say that, except for performance, how the Z just cannot compare to the Porsche. I am very much into detailing cars. I detail my Z and also my buddys 05 996 Turbo S. I know every nook and cranny on both cars. The fit and finish on the exterior of the Turbo is not any better than the Z. Secondly, he has had 3 Turbo Porsches in the last 7 years and they have been in the shop constantly...not only for mechanical and electronic problems, but also for rattles. My Vettes (7 of them) have been trouble free. The Z has 12K miles and has had ZERO problems. A service consists of a $90.00 oil change. Granted the Porsche has a nicer interior, but for a MINIMUM of a $50,000.00 price difference, it should! I can have my interior completely redone for 5-10k and it would be on par with a Ferrari interior! And please don't give me this crap about what a 7 litre motor would do in a Porsche! That is like me saying what a 1100 HP motor would do in a Vette. How many of you have ever driven a 06 Z, muchless any Vette? I HAVE OWNED 911's! They were nothing but trouble. They offered ZERO excitement compared to my Vettes. If you like a Porsche more than a Vette...fine...I respect that. If you have no desire to ever own or drive a Vette...fine...I also respect that. But PLEASE stop with this crap about how a Porsche is SOOOO superior to a Vette in EVERY way except for performance. It is just not so, and I speak from experience!!!
First of all I didn't that porsche was superior, I just said that it has much more to offer than a vette.
It makes me laugh how someone can get offended with my statement. Have to be a guy owning a vette and considering it as the best car ever produced.
Secondly, It was not an argument but a STATEMENT (big difference)
. Do you know the difference?
Thirdly, I just mention that in europe we don't even CONSIDER the corvette as an option for porsche.
i also stated that porsche can do much much better with a 7 liter engine without any turbo look at at the carrera GT.
If they add it turbo they could get much more out of it.
Vette owners are really on the defensive side, probably because they believe that it is the best productuion car ever produced by an american manufacturer.
If you're too blind to realize that they are not in the same league (except perf. wise), keep dreaming
.
Look at the sales of vettes in europe and look at porsche sales here in europe...
As I said in the end of my previous post: Any how the Z06 is a great car at a great price, however, it is hardly comparble to a 997 TT except performance wise.
The vette make dreams almost no one in europe, except pimps perhaps (was joking on that one), whereas porsche does.
