    1. Another one and I am out....why don't you look at all of the nasty comments made by your Porschephiles towards us Vette dudes. Such as using the term "redneck". How many other examples would you like. And the way some of you talk about F-Car owners...you should go back and read some of these posts. It's could be eye opening for you.
    2. As I said before and will say again...instead of giving me all of this babble about the prowesses of the 997TT Tip Sport Chrono with optional cup tires, all of which I am quite familiar, just put your money where your mouth is.
    It's really just that simple.



    1. Do you see any Corvette forum here at Rennteam.com? Just wondering...

    2. I prefer to put my brain where my other thing is (which I like to keep out of the game, still need it for other fun stuff with my wife )

    Like I said before and I really won't repeat myself: relax or vaporize, it is your choice.

    And talking about mouth, money and brains: me RC in Germany. You RonnieC6Z in sunny California. How do you want to do it, hooking up our cars to a highspeed internet connection and doing a virtual shoot-out?
    Oh, wait...I even don't have my 997 Turbo yet.

    Ronnie, Vegas isn't far away from California. If you have too much money, try to loose a little bit in Vegas, it is fun and who knows...maybe one day one of the Casinos will put up a 997 Turbo as the big win.

    Seriously: how old are you?!

    1. I do not see a "Corvette Forum" but I DO see a "Sports Car" forum, so my assumption is that, like every other automobile forum, anyone can post about other cars.

    2. My statement of "put your money where your mouth is" is a generic statement, meant not for you but for anyone. Furthermore, I go to Vegas quite often and do just fine...but thank you for the suggestion. And I would quite enjoy winning a 997TT in Vegas. I would give it to someone who would like to have one, or maybe just sell it. As I mentioned before, I have owned 911's. Finally, as pertaining to my age, odds are that I am older than you are.

    Thats when we wait in the stands for him to go and collect his prize and immediately tell him how lousy the 997tt is.. and forthright buy the car for the right price. Got to love capitalism.. Who says you can't profit from a conversation with a Vette person...duh

    Re: Motor Trend Test

    RC ,if Ronnie c6z drives like he argues you might be in trouble!

    So you are saying that Vette people are just not too bright...watch the personal attacks.....you may be out!!! (I can handle it, but I am not too sure about RC!)

    Just out of interest, what forums do you see on the main index page? Any "Vette" choices? I think that's what RC is talking about.

    And I don't think there is anything wrong with mentioning your car here, it's what you've said about Porsche owners that's the issue.

    It seems you like your Vette...good for you. But we all don't like the same things in life - if we did, we would all be married to the same kind of woman and live in the same kind of house...and drive the same kind of sports car.

    I personally wouldn't buy a Vette no matter *how* fast it was, and no matter how well it handled. It's just the way I see things. But it doesn't mean the Vette isn't the perfect choice for someone else. And it doesn't mean that there are personality traits I would assign to Vette owners because of their personal choice. I would be very narrow minded if I did.

    Re: Motor Trend Test

    Are we talking about a Stock 2006 Z06 against a 997 TT Tip SCP in the Quarter for titles??

    They are too busy scratching their head.

    Z06: more HP, less weight: faster

    997TT: less HP, heavier: slower

    Uh what else can they say?



    I will make the same 2 comments that I have made in the past: 1. IMO, most P-Car drivers are a bunch of stuck-up jerks. 2. And more importantly...ANYTIME you want to race me in your 997TT, meet me at Willow Springs just north of LA, and bring your checkbook. I am willing to put my money where my mouth is....are you?



    If it was ALL about horsepower, I'd strap a rocket to my sleigh. Sorry brother, but what's the deal with you? MAYBE your car will be faster, maybe not; we'll soon know. Even if t is; so what, I'll still buy the tt and I won't insult you or your Chevy doing it.
    Hint: Try a little tact.

    On a lighter note...It reminds me of the joke about the nondescript car owner (to protect the sensitivities of some members) who comes home and finds a man in his bed with his wife...upon seeing this he says.."look at that guy..he's so stupid he thinks he's me"

    1. Once again, sorry but the Z06 is a great car for the money, just not the right car for ALL of us like you try to force unto all with that childish attitude

    2. How irrelevant, a very very good driver (you could be one) would beat any casual driver in a Z06 or 997TT with a Dodge Neon.

    Porsche sells so many cars, and is the most profitable car company in the world, you really think everybody is stupid buying P cars and that you found the holly grail with the Z06

    Try out PGR 3 on Xbox Live

    I think you'll be able to tell Ronnie's age by looking at his family settings

    Re: Motor Trend Test

    The Zo6 is a great car it's his attitude that stinks. I thought he was starting to become easier to converse with, then this R&T test comes out and the sh** hit the fan.

    Re: Motor Trend Test

    For the record, does anyone else realize that comparing the Z06 chevrolet is unfair to porsche bc this is not their "track" model??? it would be the top model for them; the GT2!! Might as well compare the chevy to an M5, its just as similar really. Give Porsche a chance to show what the 'liteweight' can do:) it will be even less close!

    Re: Motor Trend Test

    I'm having trouble reading the Motor Trend scans. Would be greatful if someone (AmirGT2?) could please post the scans at a higher resolution. Thank you!

    Re: Motor Trend Test

    You wouldn't argue the difference between a tractor and a spaceship would you? Ok then why are we having this discussion?
    Thanks so much for the scans, gota go find that mag...

    Re: Motor Trend Test

    I must say that this discussion disappoints me very much. Hope the problems have been solved now. It is exactly this kind of discussions that made flat-6 from a nice board into a standard board. Firm modding is required.

    That's all you can come up with?

    How about something like "The 997 Turbo is the best all around sports car in the world"??



    Absolutely

    IMO = In My Opinion
    IMHO = In My (falsely ) Humble Opinion
    A bunch of stuck-up jerks: A bunch of jerks who recognize nothing as worthy, unless it's worth something to them. That's as close as I can come to a definition without opening the Webster.
