Please show me where there is a roadcourse in Fredericksburg, VA. If you can, it must have been just built last night. Everyone in this area goes to VIR or Summit Point. Therefore, by him saying come on down to Fredericksburg what do you think he meant? Yes, a street drag race.

You cant deny Chevy has crappy build quality, doesnt mean they arent loveable, just annoying. Porsche has had it's problems too, definitely it's fair share, but overall crappy quality award goes to chevy. See if your dash surround isnt flaking and peeling in a year or two, classic chevy. You cant hide cheap.

Trust me, I'm not biased, I have a C5, much worse quality than a C6 and I love it. Porsches are overpriced, WAYYYYY overpriced, and they need to step into the new age of design and motor at some point. The interiors were BORING!!!! until the 997, charge way too much for options.


All cars SUCK at SOMETHING. Trading blows at which car sucks at what worse is a waist of time. I'm with Mikelly, let's meet up on the track. And amerlemans, dont try and set up races with other people, back up your own smack or shutup.
Reading comprehension is your friend. I said the car felt more stable to me at 150 mph than my 996TT. Nothing more, nothing less. Show me where in the hell I challenged ANYBODY to a race. Mikelly laid down the challenge that he will kick ANYBODY's *** in a Z06 with his TT. Therefore, I will now see if there is one (or 2 or 10) of the Z06 guys that run at Summit Point and VIR if they want to take up the challenge of Speedracer, er I mean Mikelly.

BTW Mi(karsux), what verifiable lap times do you run on the large circuit at Summit Point?

Nice Avatar. My Z was black. Good looking car. Look me up on the corvette forum. I spent alot of time there and at the track. The last time my car broke at the track (MSR Fort Worth), one of the mechanic's pulled me to the side and explained that Corvettes broke more often than Porsches att the track. I started noticing from that point forward and he was right. Bottom line to me is this:

My Z was very, very fast (in a straight line and on the track) and sounded great. Handling was very good, but the feedback was numb. Build quality was terrrible - roof problems, orange peel, engine issues. Interior sucked. Front brakes were some of the worst ever designed (I melted them on my first track event). Service was attrocious. I had many problems stemming from the oiling issue on the 06's.

The Porsche is not as fast in a straight line. The build quality is much better all the way around. Service is better, but more expensive (and I don't mind paying for it). I cannot compare my 996TT Cab to a Z06. Different car. IMHO, Porsches just communicate to the driver better, are built better, definitely hold their value better and are more exclusive.

I absolutely will not engage in an argument with anyone on the above. These are all opinions and mine is not changing.

Looks like he has had flawless performance from his turbo if you don't think brakes are important, and oh a mas air failure, and oh limp mode, all he can say about the Z06 is the roof delaminated. I will take a loose roof over no brakes any day.

Contributing to a topic about the Zo6 vs TT should be a bannable offense.

The person who doesnt have any problems at the track isnt driving fast enough. If you are on CF you would see way more problems than that at the road course

Dez, when you say turn 9, are you talking about the back straight, or entry to 10A?

Not putting my Porsche down, however, I love running it through corners better than anything, but I don't think the Z06 is slow through them, I think it might actually be faster and due to better weight balance easier to run through corners (I need more seat time and less rain to be certain).
Well no crap. They aren't racing anyone in their class.
