Well, for me performance was not *THE* issue...as in the *only* issue, or as in the *top* issue. There are many traits, including performance, that added up the Turbo being the best car in terms of what I was looking for. Some things about the Vette are just deal-breakers for me...the exterior looks, the seating position, the sight lines from the driver's seat...the lack of a rear engine (to name a few).

I don't think Porsche considers the C6Z a "target" to shoot for...Porsche's targets?...Ferrari, Lambo, MB...

I don't think Porsche really targets Ferrari's or Lambos. Most Ferrari buyers do not consider Porsche an alternative but merely another car in their stable. They serve entirely differnt purposes. The Porsches are better daily drivers, while driving a modern Ferrari is an automotive experience. I use my Porsche and my Vette to go to places, while I go out in a Ferrari just for the hell of driving a Ferrari.
