Yes, unrefined and made out of plastic. It would be a shame if it was also beaten in the performance category, while offering race-car-like comfort (as in no comfort
). I wonder, though, how they're planning on making the SS 300 lbs lighter...

Always finding a way to justify your additional expenditure.

Not really. I actually considered the Z06 for a while, but decided to wait and save up for the 997TT. The Z06 is a marvelous car, with stunning performance. However, from all I hear, its daily-driver capabilities leave something to be desired, at least in my part of the world, where we get rain and snow. Personally, I think it would make a great track toy, for someone who can afford to have both, but I just don't see it as a viable option for myself.
As for justifying the extra monetary expenditure, it's all relative. Some forum members here have watches and audio systems that cost more than a new 997TT and a 430 combined.

Crash....Once again you MUST chime in with another one of your negative remarks about the Vette. You must just love it! Well, I said it once before, and I still feel the same way....you are a first class a..hole!

Why is it that the only time you can type two "S" letters together is when you write so enthusiastically about the new Corvette "SS"? Aptly named, though, as it will undoubtably be at the forefront of a new "Blitzkrieg", when some of you low-self-esteem-nothing-but-Corvette-out-there people unite to rub our faces into another new "Porsche destroyer". I have nothing more to say to you, but that you read rhino's response to your post.
Rhino: thanks!

Re: High Quality Plastics used in the construction of new Ve
Some guys take the time to respect others and their views. Some guys can't even understand someone else's views due their own ego. Some guys just get great pleasure out of spewing their pretentious garbage and hoping someone will bite.
I enjoy posts such as this. I don't mind the redneck crap, just as I didn't mind the prententious crap when I had my 996TT. I could afford either or both. I choose to drive a Z because it is built for the track. The combination of styling, American muscle and track prowess does it for me. Are there some things I would like to improve? Yes, but I traded my 996TT out of frustration with the dealer's inability to solve a problem (had the car 3 out of 12 months last year). Yeah, they all have their problems.
Love the Porsche, but I just can't justify the additional 60k for the TT. Now, the GT3? Damn, just gotta have it.

Damn I miss you on CF. Shouldn't you change your name to RonnieF360? Sorry you guys didn't catch the sarcasm. I should probably sell my C6Z and move out of the country.

Did you sell the ZO6?
That's like asking an alcoholic if he threw a new bottle of Jack Daniels away.
Crash....you're the best. I sure wish you could come over and have a beer with us. We sit around and insult everyone and make fun of their choices in life.
Glad to see we have something in common.

Nice to see at least one of the two has a sense of sarcasm.
