Makes me wish I had 7 liters of displacement to turbocharge. That Chevy motor also revs to 7000, which is not bad at all for a somewhat archaic design.

Not sure what word you meant to use but that V8 is far from archaic my friend.

Don't you find it a little upsetting that we are even discussing the performance of a $68,000 Corvette Z06 versus a $190,000 Porsche GT2........you would think for the extra $120,000 it wouldn't even be a match...For the money the new Carrera S should be able to match the Z06...but I seriously doubt it....We need the new 8 cylinder 3.4 ALMS P2 engine in the base 911.

A buddie of mine picks his up tomorrow. We'll find out first hand what this Chevy is all about. We have Silvers stage II car and the Roock RST 650 car here in town.
I'll let those guys take care of the testing.......I don't want to embarrass him with my 3.......

The Roock 650 should rock your buddy's Z06.

You can complain about interior quality or overall quality right up to the point that you realize that you could campaign 2 ZO6's and still afford a nice tow vehicle and you will with some good driving skilz consistently beat the GT2.
I think the statement that its "still not a Porsche" is pretty hollow and more about egos than anything quantitave.

Sorry guys, but its a Vette and most anybody with a decent job can get one.
Only a few lucky bastards can get GT2 and really live life the way it should.
On a drag strip any jerkwad can probably run a 12
I would be scared to see it hitting the twistes.
Pretty fast.
