You are arguing over the fact that the Corvette( probably the best car we can produce here in the US ) with a SEVEN LITER V-8 engine ,
MAY,POSSIBLY,PERHAPS, beat a car of equal weight and an engine barely HALF it's size .
And then only by a hair , in a DRAG type race , down a straight line .
You forgot to mention that the car with the engine HALF the size of the other, also has turbos...minor detail

Personally, I would do more than I would like to admit for either of these cars.

As to who will win; like Craig said, both, depending on the day and the driver.

What you would rather drive never really enters the picture. I prefer the TT just as I prefer most things Porsche. I mean hell, I would rather have the TT over an f430.

This is interesting, I have been thinking about getting the new ZO6 because I want a car I can drive 800 miles to a race track and not worry about the cost of those miles. I think the ZO6 is a great car and I like the way it looks as well. The porsche interior puts the ZO6 to shame though.

Anyways I would both cars are even and it will depend on the driver.

I do think that about every single person on this forum could post a faster lap time in the 997TT then in the ZO6 because they are soooo much easier to drive. I was passing vipers with R-compund tires at my first DE just because my 996TT is soooo easy to drive on the edge.

If any of the ZO6 owners have tracked there car, what did you guys think? Any mods that are a necessity to do so? How did the brakes hold up after multiple laps?

thanks

From what I heard from multiple exotic car owners the Z06 feels heavy, and stale. The suspension isn't also setup the best for track use. The brakes are great, on the street, but on the track they lack.

terrence is a jewel in the roughterrence is a jewel in the roughterrence is a jewel in the rough
My guess:

997TT wins standing start to 60
Z06 wins standing start to 1/4 mile
997TT wins 50 to 100

From a roll, I'll pick the Z06 everytime unless the driver messes up. From a stop, it could go either way, depending on the launching ability of the Z06 driver.

That said...and as much as I totally respect the Z06 for it's performance/price ratio...I wouldn't consider purchasing one over a 997TT.

I agree, if you could afford both the 997TT is clearly a better car all around (disregard performance). Then again, if I could afford to drop 140K on a car, I'd get a 70K Z06 also.
