What to get: 2006 Z06 or 2006 911 S?

Cap you own a Dodge truck . I suppose you think that styling is cutting edge as well.

NO, AS A MATTER OF FACT, I DON'T

sorry bout caps locks...

i like the way it looks, just like i like the 60's mustangs and camaros, and chargers.

it has some style and lines to it....it's not just a "normal" looking pickup like the fords and toyotas.

Yassir Bigplay .. Vette is definitely not in the same league as Yer-a-peon sports cars.

Looked to be about 2-3 cars ahead of that Ferrari 430 at Mosport at the checker, where it counted.

In GT-1 .. umm .. alla Yer-a-peein sports cars gave up.
Couldnt catch a Vette, why race 'em.

But hey .. go right on about how good the leather is by all means.

I know a good seat to fart in is worth at least 40k more.
At least .. to you and some others.

-LOL

actually many things have influenced my decisions for buying a truck......

Cost, what your getting for your money, Dodge Dakota lists the same as a Toyota Tacoma dbl cab. Has a little more power and towing capscity. The Dakota is not in the same class a the Tacoma as far anything else is concerned and that's not just my opinion

Value, what your getting for the money, operating costs over the life of the truck, resale, cost of maintaining the truck over life of vehicle. Dodge losses that one again. When I see Dodge offering $9000 off on their full size trucks that means something to me.

Overall appearance inside and out

There are many other small factors that I consider when purchasing a new truck and my feeling is Dodge products are Rather sub par, once again not only my opinion.

I don't disagree. I was just commenting since it seemed you took a shot at Cap, basically implying that since he had a Dodge truck he maybe wasn't qualified somehow to comment on the styling of the Corvette and Porsche..... which seems to be the reason someone else called you what they called you.

<---owns GM trucks (actually a Suburban Z71 and a Yukon Denali, but they're truck based so close enuff)

You're absolutely right, GE.

But at least after you get spanked by a Vette while driving your Boxster or Cayman you can hold your head up high and say "well, at least mine's a Porsche!" And then you can go look for a Miata or a Civic to pick on!

"I paid $40K more and the interior is better! So HA Mr. Vette-man!"...

THAt would be due to the fact that if the european companies are producing cars that outperform american cars, then american companies simply are choosing to not compete with their performance.
 ford, and gm have both shown that when they choose to do so, they not only will outperform euro cars.....they will do it in spades.

we had a guy that used to bring his miata in here.

i'd be willing to bet that his would have no problems with porsches. 

[Grayeagle]

Definitely not in the same league.

And .. Kerbecks has 'em for ~50k for the coupe, a bit more for the vert shown here ..new.

No duh.

For the same $$ as a Z06 you're buying a base 911, not a turbo. Z06 mops the floor with a base 911.

For less money than a turbo 911, you can get a ZR1. ZR1 mops the floor with, well, pretty much all of them from Porsche.

Next!

Shame that guy wasn't at Mosport in his Porsche eh?
He should have a chat with the Flying Lizard folks, he obviously has the Vette handled, those Flyin Lizard guys could use his expertise!
He would have won GT2 .. LOL.

sounded like he was WAY short shifting the vette/.

I doubt it. Those two are professional GT racing drivers.

I'm still trying to figure out why the race was between the turbo and a Z06 instead of a turbo vs a ZR1....

Oh yeh... I forgot... when you want to have something end a certain way (Porsche win), you stack the odds in their favor (run a $130K turbo against the $70K Vette you know you'll barely beat, instead of againt the $107K ZR1 that will murder the Porsche) and then act surprised.
