Speaking of insurance rates; my Z06 costs less than my 996TT does. And the Z06 has more HP, and a higher book value than my 7-year old, "stock" 996TT.

Because the Corvette is known as a weekend car to most of the owners. My old 98 Cobra's insurance was more than my 1999 Corvette Hardtop a month. Never could understand that. It was not by a small amount either!!

Corvettes also have a surprisingly low accident rate for being a sports car, moslty because old people buy them to cruise around.

Also cost of repairs is a factor too.

In which gears will it break traction just by hitting the gas? I'm sure the engine weight being in the rear helps but I'm curious. Thanks

Nice!! I just picked up a '08 black metallic bmw 135i to have a car under warranty for awhile. It's hard to imagine your 996tt having over 3 times the hp of my engine.

going back to the original thread... I doubt we will see a 1000 rwhp P car any time soon.... maybe a blow up mode yes but not one running 1.5 bars or so...
just my humble opinion...
