The best quote so far:"The AMV8 can be better for you and the 997S better for me at the same time. So congrats on your order and enjoy it" That's what it all comes down to in these comparisons,since 97% of us intend to use these things on regular roads. Whether they are 997 vs Corvette or whatever. Being from Michigan, where there is a marked lack of foreign cars due to a large (but dwindeling number) of auto factories, I already get the Z06 is better than the 997S arguement from my co-workers. My response is always the same...then buy a Z06 if that's what you prefer. No doubt about it, they're all great cars, all for different reasons. I wish I could have one of each.
