My drug habits are none of your business.
I said the ZR1 COULD fetch 100g's. Besides, the example you gave me has two accidents on it's record. You'll have to do better than that.

I'll agree with you that the Vette's real strong point is it's price. But both it and the Porsche are two seat, high performance sports cars. How much closer do they have to be to be "legally" compared?
The Z06's computer estimated 0-60 was 3.6 seconds. That's based on the factory 515hp rating. As with all GM sports cars, we expect the Vette to be grossly underrated - the 400hp rated Z51 puts out 380-390 at the wheels, so it should be rated more in the 420-430hp range. That will have to wait until the ZO6 comes out, but following the trend, we should see 510hp or better to the WHEELS...which would be nearly 550hp crank. I'm betting 0-60 in 3.5.
I'm not trying to say that the Porsche and the Vette are the exact same car at heart. I'll agree they really are quite different. But I don't see a problem with comparing the two...they were built with the same mission - performance and style. The 911 and Vette have been compared on
manyp occasions in the past. Even C&D said they've been doing it for 20 years.

AHH there's always an excuse. It's fun to watch Porsche fans cry after their hero was outdone by a chevy. To me, it's expected. To you, it's impossible? Get used to it.
BTW, using the "bang for the buck" argument only makes the Porsche look worse. Showing that you are getting no more for alot more money.
