Remember when the Z06 time at the Ring was considered a fraud? That GM and its staff fudged the numbers? Where are these doubter's now? Time and time again the Z06 has shown its superiority over the 997TT.
Now instead of assailing its performance, they attack its quality. Sad very sad.

The Z06 is really a great machine. That cannot be denied. GM really stepped up to the bat and hit a home run. Only problem is I do not want one. Actually I do not lust for a Turbo either, but in a pinch I would take the turbo over 2 Z06s IF YOU ARE GIVING THEM AWAY. Nobody is giving anything away, we put down hard earned money to buy these machines. I DONOT get pissed at Porsche over in this insane HP race. GM is putting 400HP is the upgrade egine of the Solstice. I get pissed at Porsche for charging for power seats in a $100K non-turbo 997...that is just plain laughing at their loyal buyers. I love my Porsche C4S...it's not a turbo, but I want to keep it over the Z06. While the Z06 is a great car, the last time I felt lustfull for a Corvette was when Route 66 was on TV and I was 13 years old.

Power seats aren't included because Porsche is all about customization. Some people don't want seats, because they don't need them. Others don't want them because they add extra weight. Personally, i wouldn't get power seats. If you're the only driver, how often are you moving your seat?
But they SHOULD however come with xenons

For me power seats are the LEAST important option, if the mechanical seat adjustment is variable enough in every direction!

Same statement rings true about the F430

This much is clear. Because of the Z06, performance is no longer important to Porsche buyers.

There is a reason why unhappy Ferrari owners troll the 997TT forums instead of the Z06 boards.
Who do you mean in particular with that totally irrelevant, featherbrained and narrow-minded phrase?
