RC and the rest of you Porsche lovers are you claiming that GM deliberately misrepresented the Ring numbers for the Z06? Because if you are then you do not understand the Ameican legal system. You may argue that the car was set up for the Ring and not fairly representative of a factory Z06 but you cannot deny the time.
Dave Hill the lead engineer has been quoted along with the driver confirming the time in every publication that has reviewed the Z06. If you want an "official" announcement from GM that would be like asking Porsche for an official announcement for all the its cars on the Ring. It does not exist.
However, at least the head engineer of the Z06 has confirmed the Ring time. Show me one Porsche employee other the "I could do better" driver W. Rorhl confirming ANY Porsche times at the Ring.
OK Nick, show me the official press release from GM and I'll reconsider my view on it. Deal?

Crash your response regarding the selection of the TT only confirmed what I thought I knew about you.
Ha, Obviously Kuwait must agree with our system. Isn't Jackson moving into your neighborhood?
So, Nick, what do you know about me? That I really like Ferraris, particularly the F430, but would still choose a 997TT over it (I'd take the F430 over a 997S, though)? Wow, I must be a real evil doer
. When will you realize, Nick, that just because someone doesn't share your taste in cars (and the "taste" of elitists trying to get the most expensive car just to show off), that doesn't make that person wrong? I respect your choices, I think it's great that you're enjoying the car you want, but please, Porsche bashing is getting really old. True, there are too many of them, they depreciate like rocks in the US and they don't have the "cool" factor of a Ferrari among the West Coast megalopolis gold diggers, but at the end of the day I like the look of the 997TT a lot, the performance obviously isn't going to be anything to laugh about (the TTS will probably be about as fast as a Ruf 550 car), the cars are virtually bullet-proof, are safer than Ferraris (in my subjective opinion) and most of all, they don't yell out "LOOK AT ME"! Heck, if I wanted people to look at my car I would've gone out and bought a used Murcielago. But hey, that's just me.
