The right car will sing to you :) It wont matter what other people say or think .. you like it, you drive it.


I just drove the Z06 this evening... I can say it's going to be a tough decision. Both cars sang to me!

The Corvette feels monstrously more powerful than the Porsche. I didn't even floor it and the torque just grabbed at me. The interior isn't great, but I wouldn't say it's horrible either. The Porsche definitely felt more refined with its steering and ride quality. I'm 6'2" like you Grayeagle, but both cars were equally spacious.

It's really going to be a difficult decision... dangit!

-grin- ..

If there is no clear decision, I always flip a coin :)
It's how I decided USAF > Navy
.. they both offered all of what I wanted way back when I had decided to enlist instead of wait for the draft :)
(got my draft notice two weeks into basic :)

What's it drive like?

I'm willing to go out on a limb here and guess that his answer will be a three-letter acronym.  ;)

Just another thing to add to the decision making.
I'm quite sure it will be less expensive to get MORE power out of the ZO6... if desired.
