Track Test: 2014 Corvette Stingray VS 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S

First it was ‘Vette versus Viper, then it was Corvette versus Nissan GT-R. This week, Edmunds has the C7 Corvette battling the Porsche 911 Carrera S.

The as-tested price of the Corvette Stingray is $69,675. In the video, Mike Monticello says the as-tested price of the Porsche 911 Carrera S is around $140,000, so for less than half of what you would pay for a Carrera S, you could buy a Corvette and beat the Porsche by two feet in 60-0 braking, 2.8 mph in the 600-foot slalom and 0.01 g on the skid pad. Knowing that, would you still rather have the Porsche? We know you’re going to say “yes”.

Here’s a better question: what is the minimum horsepower a Porsche 911 would have to generate in order for you to consider a Corvette over a Carrera? 250 horsepower? 200? Or are you one of those people who would rather push a 911 than drive a Corvette?
