I also read that teh Z06 is a great handler but numb in comparison to the Porsche. Basically great at taking corners but lacking in subjective feel...?
Yeah, it is numb..I also find the transmission hard to shift accurately..I tend to miss or fight gears. It is just not refined like the TT. I feel like my TT is faster on the acceleration, but honestly I am just saying that based on how it feels. I have not timed or measured anything. The curve of the Z06 pedal is different too...you push it down for a long time before it finally kicks in..I mean the gas pedal has a lot of throw and it takes a second for the engine to really respond.

When I bought my car 2 years ago, it had 5k on it, and I drive it daily, so it is nice to see that everyone else drives their car daily also. I figure since I paid for it, I should enjoy driving the car.

An 04 TT with 11.8K miles (but 8k is in the last year since I bought it)


I love the smiles this car brings to my face everytime I drive it. I even love washing / detailing it; I find it to be therapeutic.
