2006 Turbo S vs 2006 Z06
 

How will a Turbo S fair against a Z06 from say 60-140 ? How about a GIAC flashed Turbo S vs the Z06?

You mean a 997 Turbo? Or an 05 996 Turbo S?

No 996 turbo produced for '06... If you mean an '05 like Luis said, the ZO6 would be faster, at least on paper.

The Z06 would be quicker by a good amount!

Line them up and find out. It 'll be close w/ GIAC.LOL

NO way the vette would be faster, hilarious !













Oh crap I dont mean to start another one of "those" threads.
The 997 TT will eat the vette for breakfast though, damn there I go again.

No sir. However, I am not sure if you are joking or not. The C6 Z06 will eat the 997TT up in all aspects. I can't imagine a single "event" in which the 997TT will beat the new Z06 in expect for which is the most expensive. The new Z06 is going to be hard to touch for a good while to come.

Bajo

I suggest we go buy a couple of those Z06's then:D

Umm question, how could you come straight out with these claims, when the 997tt isnt out and has not been tested yet? Until then, i highly doubt your right!

Vette is lighter... advantage !

When somebody gets 2 identical cars and tests them with a pro driver at the same place in a variety of tests, then I'll accept the results. Until that point, every other opinion, claim, expectation, story, seat-of-the pants thing, etc. is not valid. I'd be willing to bet when it finally happens as 997 TT vs. C6 Z06, there will be a slight advantage to the Porsche. My guess is if they did it now with a 05 Turbo S coupe vs. vette the result would be the opposite. Just a guess like everyone else.

Vince I really hope you are kidding and your body was shaking violently after you saw what you typed. :D

Red devil I agree its all pure speculation as we havent got the 997TT stateside yet. As always time shall tell the truth, I honestly believe the 997TT will be a tad faster in real world driving, but than again I am TOTALLY biased.

The '05 will get mowed. If it's chipped, it would be a close race. Not sure about the 997 turbo.

it's chipped, it would be a close race ....if coupe and manual + good driver in both.

Stock 996 Turbo S vs C6Z: The Z06 will pull away decisively

Flashed Turbo S vs C6Z: Very close, but I think the Z may still have a slight advantage

997 Turbo vs C6Z: If Porsches claims are true, this should be close race.


The new Z06 is very impressive for the cheap price. I would not under estimate it.
