GT3 or C6 Z06: Which is the better weekend car?

Hey guys,

I have been trying to decide between an 03' 996 tt and a GT3 for some time. I am definitely leaning towards the GT3 for its performance focus.

As a side note, I am also very interested in the new C6 Z06. In fact, I have a #2 reservation spot at a Chevy dealer. I know that it should be a no brainer picking the GT3, after all it is a Porsche versus a Chevrolet. However, the Z06 looks to be a performance monster with trick parts for only $70k.

My main concern with the Z06 is the lack of handling feel and precision and more importantly overall quality, but the lure of 428 cubic inches, 505 hp and 470 lb ft of torque in a 3100 pound car sounds like lots of fun!

What do you guys think? Here are the primary factors for my decision process:

1. Fun to drive
2. Handling prowess
3. Powerful acceleration
4. Driving intensity and character
5. Modability (primary reason I was considering the 996 tt)
6. Reliability

I will primarily drive the car on the weekends for aggressive street driving, a little canyon carving and 3-4 PDEs annually. Thanks for your feedback.

George
