Check the different reactions, there is a reason, ones a porsche and one says CHEVY. Gold chain vs Patek Philippe.. Sorry if I have offended anyone I just dont get it..

Speed isn't the only standard for comparison. People are comparing the Z06 to the 911 turbo to the GTR because their performance in all aspects are similarly matched, some better than others.

I don't see why you think it's hard to make such a comparison, really. Since when did nameplate appeal factor into the actual performance of a sports car? I'm not talking about which car is better overall to own...most only compare them for performance value. I'd personally pick the 997tt over the other two, but I'll have immense respect for a z06 or a GTR for incredible bang for buck cars.

I don't get your post. I don't buy cars to impress the valet. Hell, I don't even let the valets touch my cars. You got a great performing Mustang so good for you. Who cares what a valet will say?

They are all great high performance cars and all should be respected. We as cars buyers are blessed to have so many cars choices. We don't need to bash other cars that are faster than us, just buy them all, money is the only limiting factor, the cars are ALL GOOD...

Totally agree! but the thread was not "bang for buck". Of course bang for buck zo6 wins. I would much rather save my bucks for a TT..
