Re: sorry Nick - tongue in cheek
I guess i have to repost my original post again:
I don't think anyone can say definitively. There are videos and specs (magazine tests, auto show tests, etc) floating around that disproves your statement. Although I don't like 1/4 mile in these types of discussions, which car has the higher trap speed and better time? That would cover the first 120+mph and which car is in front. Let's say your right about 155 to 185mph, what happens after that? What about the first 0 - 155 mph? Please know the difference between "quick" and "fast", they have their places.

(want more just ask)
Please don't just pick which ever one suites your wants, there are more articles showing the huge ranges, so stop reaching for your 1 quote and adding your "facts". There are no absolute facts it seems, just a range of times for every test and these cars are too close to keep having people reach for some article hoping for a second or a tenth of a second. Just drive your car and enjoy it for what it is, if you really really need to justify your purchase (Z06 or 997 T) then go buy both and you be the tester instead of 20 magazines. Then let us know what you find, that to me has more credibility.
