In other words, put an above average driver in each and the Porsche will likely win on a road course. Put a great driver in each, and the Z06 wins.
Is this true? Since a below average driver is asking, I would like to hear from the great drivers first

Same goes for your E55, all it takes is a tune on a 996 Turbo and Bamm, you lose!

You guys have it all wrong! NSX OWNS TT/Z06
JK!!
In all seriousness, both are great cars, why bash?
I wouldn't mind adding a Z06 to my stable. If I had to choose betweem the two, I'd keep/buy a Porsche though.

I'll run that E55 of yours in the meantime though

i seen your trap speed and yes 136 is high but all i care about is the time it takes to get to 1/4 mile.

renntechs turbo? im lost! i could be wrong about the supercharger there were so many videos to choose from. either way that vett just ran a 9.4 at 150. insteard of going back and forth lets just say stock for stock the ZO6 wins the 1/4 mile. after that its who is a better driver and who has more cash to burn.

Fakking relax dweeb, you like using that "fruit" term alot.

Oh brah, I wasnt acting tough at all. Have no need to act tough. Just pointing the facts at hand, BAMMMM !
We have been here a thousand times over and over with this Vette vs 996TT thing, it always comes down to preferance. I give the Vette the respect it deserves no more no less.
Post some pics if your modded E55 and what you have done as far as mods, or have you done that in the AMG section. Sorry I missed it as I am a big 5.5Kompressor fan, yup love my G55.
