If you are worried about that 3.2% though, the Corvette C6 Z06 posted a 7:22.68, a gap of more than 15s over the 911 at only 68% of the cost, and it's definitely a "purebred" car, not one built up from a "normal" car (since that seems to concern you so much). | Wow, you guys don't know much about motor sports do you? Every millisecond counts. A 14 second difference is a trouncing. As far as the Z06, it's a cool race car but still not the refined precise machine that is the 911. The professionals who work in the automotive world know this. 2 of the top gear presenters have 911s as their personal car.

^ So if a 14 second difference is a trouncing, i guess that Z06 walked the fuck over that 911 eh?

This purpose of this thread was to discuss how high performance cars are difficult to enjoy on the street, not to discuss how high performance cars perform on a race track...
Clearly I did not title this thread correctly, and my OP was off topic, please excuse my ignorance.
PS: I like the fucking "school bus" Porsche commercial.

Marco911 doesn't have enough hair on his back or drink budweisers to fathom driving a corvette.
911 is the complete package, have you seen a C6 corvette interior?
I approve of the C7 however.

This thread reminds me of the last time Marco911 got his ass handed to him: http://www.revscene.net/forums/63519...st-car-rs.html
Que RangeRover's cleavage.....
By the way Marco your beloved 911 got absolutely destroyed at the Nurburgring, a track in Porsche's own backyard, by a cheap CHEVY!?!?

Z3Guy makes up his own reality such as "an amateur can extract more performance out of an M3 than a 997."

Having said that, I do agree with your opinion in this matter, 911>Vette for driving experience. | If my opinion is supported by professional reviewers and statistics, then it is likely worth a lot more than someone who pulls opinions out of their ass (Z3Guy) and is unable to back it up when asked to show references.

| Yes, it did. The Z06 is much more purpose-built for quick lap times than a 911, which can be a civilised daily driver but still offers the awesome communicative feeling of a sports car. The track focussed 911 GT2 RS did get a quicker time than a Z06.

Right. | Well the M3/M4 doesn't have any redeeming qualities over the 911 does it? And I never said he lap times were irrelevant, I clearly stated the Z06 was faster.

All you guys are goons, why even compare these cars? A M3/M4 costs like 60% what the lowest level 911 does... I bloody well hope for Porsche's sake the 911 is a bit quicker...
Likewise a GT2 costs more than twice what a Z06 does... derp.

Magazine racers. | Because that's the comparison Marco made, and the Porsche isn't significantly quicker for the massive price difference. Don't blame us for pointing out the weak points in someones else's argument.

The M3 is slower not because it's cheaper with 'less content' but because of its compromised family car origins.
The 911 probably has less material content in it than the BMW.

Lol, magazine racing, I think some of you have taken shitty rentals but how many people on here have actually taken a 911, BMW M car, Cayman, Corvette, etc... on to the ring? 
Was the 14 seconds from different days? If so, you can't compare. One way to settle this, y'all should take your cars to the next track day!
