Z06 is faster no doubt. But I'd still take the 997TT. It has all wheel drive, way easier to launch than a Hi-HP RWD car (especially on the street). Average driver in RWD is more apt to bog or spin off the line, thus killing their run.

With both drivers being of the tiny percentage of drivers that are really good at launching and especially at a track, Z06 is will likely win. Far too many cases of this point being proven with time slips. .

 

You also have to consider the number of 997 Turbos that have been to the drag strip as compared to the Z06's, heck, the turbos just started getting delivered a few months ago. There are no ranger type guys for the turbo that only want to master the stock time of the turbo and spend countless hours at the strip to do so.

The Z06 may be faster top end but as far as 1/4 mile with an average driver they are very evenly matched. I would certainly put my money on the Turbo for a 1/4 mile race on the street, the Z06 is faster top end but wont walk the Turbo down by that much that quickly, the Z will have to have a great launch which, not many people can do on a reg. basis at the track and even a lesser percentage can do on the street.

And besides not to bad for a car with 25 less hp 10 less torque and 360 more lbs

 

Couldn't be said any better, agreed

 

And there are some EVO's out there that with the right driver would smoke a ZO6. Does that make the EVO a superior car to the EVO? No, I didn't think so either. The 997TT is the superior car because it can be driven much faster than the ZO6 by most drivers.

 

Are you bi-polar?

Sentence 1 translation: The driver does not decide which car is superior as any chitty driver can lose a race.

sentence 2 trasnlation: An EVO superior to an EVO... what???

Sentence 4 translation: The car is only as fast as the driver.

Maybe I've misinterpreted something?
