There will be many nay sayers but I am hearing from very reliable sources the Z06 will out perform all the European cars with the exception of the CGT, Enzo and the speciality cars like the Radical and Dunkerfoort. If this time holds up then Porsche which designs all its cars for the Ring performance is going to have to put a TT engine in the Cayman to beat the Z06.
I dont think many people here like the suggestion and the initial facts that the less than posh Vette can outperform
their beloved Porsches.
However, facts are facts. The Z06 was driven for its OFFICIAL lap times by the Dane who has won Le Mans in a Corvette and is their top driver. Maybe thats enough Euro content to dampen the naysayers.
It doesnt have to be posh inside or pretty outside to go fast. Get a clue, it weighs less than any 997, has 505hp
and has substantial R/D from its racing victories in FIA
GT racing.
I love Porsches, but once you have watched Corvettes just THUNDER by them you have to ask yourself what the heck is going on. In FIA and the US series racing the class that Porsche GT3Rs are in does not allow Corvettes because they are simply TOO FAST!! Wake up out there!!!! Maybe Porsche should offer Ostrich skin leather as the official new interior option for the woefully affluent but ignorant
and geocentric. Its regrettable to see that the NIH syndrome
is alive and well in places where it shouldnt be.
