In some peoples mind the ZO6 looks better then the new TT. I have been in lust with Porsches since I can remember and have always disliked the Vette. I now am finding myself thinking the Vette looks way better. Now the 997 GT3 is a whole other story. So if the performance (i.e. braking, 0-60, handling, etc..) is as good if not better and you like the looks more why not buy one... For 1/4 mile drag strip performance you can buy a mid 80's mustang for 5-6 Grand drop 10-20 g's in it and kick all their ***...

both cars are hot. personally i like the 997tt more, but that's me. the first time i saw the vette, the thing that struck me the most was how ferrari like it looked. the lines on that car are fantastic, but like i said, if given the choice of the vette and cash vs the turbo, i go turbo.

the z06 is the first corvette that the european press actually like,however they say the ride is too hard for our roads and whilst it may be quick in a striaght line..for the winding roads were real fun is to be had..nothing..and i mean nothing will live with a porsche turbo,its compactness and traction make it unbeatable.

Anything can beat Porsche style...no way!
The Z06 for sure is a very powerful cars...it drives like a european car, it's cheap...bla bla bla....what ever you want...But I'd always go for a P...better if is 997 TT!

Do we need a new thread now??

For those of you who actually stayed on topic so far, I appreciate it. I am looking forward to getting this video on tape. For those that just can't stay on topic and have an insecurity complex, well, too bad..

Was it posted if the TT is a tip or 6 speed? 50-150 means you shift at least three times right? If equal drivers both on manuals I say Z06, but if the TT is a tip, you better be a good driver because all he has to do is plant his foot.
