Z06 hot laps the Nurburgring

[Vteckidd]

The C6 Z06 is the best bang for the buck, but that isn't want you originally said. You realize this, correct? NOBODY is going to argue that it isn't the best bang for the buck. You would be stupid to do so. However, does that make it faster than those cars?

No. It isn't faster than all models from those 3 companies. It might be cheaper and faster than some of the models that cost more than it, but not all models. It's a mixed bag of nuts. It is faster than some, slower than others.

Best bang for the buck, yes. Better than all Ferrari, Porches, and Lambos is ridiculous.

maybe i was too broad in my generalization, truth be known i dont know alot about older porsches and specs, i drive a honda.

and i love your car, but if i had 200000 to spend, i would spend it on a vetter and a house, rather than a porsche. hell i used to be best friends with the lead tech of Ferrari Of Scotsdale in arizona. it was a joint dealership and they sold Astin Martin and porsche as well. He would call me on certain days cause thats where they would store the Ferrari Challenge cars for tear down and rebuild/inspection. There was a 550, 355 and a 360 all in the showroom floor. and you know which car i would have chosen out of that whole dealership? a blue porsche they had there with soft grey leather interior, carrera 4. I like german interior so much more than Italian

but i think the new Z06 and even the old Z06 /C5R were great cars

I think vteckidd is just trying to say this:

Porsche GT is faster, but for the money you can have a very closely rated car performance wise for a 1/5 of the price.

This statement is very true.

Hey, this reminds me.......Bill Heard is suppose to call me once they get one for me to test drive..........watch out Buford residents it could get smokey around here!

Well, if he really wants to compare, he can put the C6 Z06 up against the Porsche 911 GT2 (996). They both ran the exact same time on the ring (7:42). The 911 GT2 (996) is the race version of the 911 turbo (much like the Z06 is the race version of the vette). The GT2 runs ~$190,000. Comparing the new Z06 to that would be more acceptable. I will say this, though, the 997TT and 997GT2 will be interesting.

OK then he probably is just trying to say this:

The GT2 is just as fast, but why pay $190,000.00 when you can pay $72,000.00 for the same like performance?

I have yet to disagree with you on this statement, Mike. It is hands down, the best bang for the buck sport car sold.
