I've seen stockers at the drag strip running low 11's on drag radials, while I'm sure nobody hear feels the drag strip is a good indication of a sports car, it's definatley an indication of the power it holds. 6 piston calipers up front, completely set suspension, i'll tell you no 911 can hold it's own against that kind of strength, 911 all the way to gt3 rs. It is untouchable.

...and please, if you haven't driven one, it's easy to think the 911 is a better car...I've driven a bone stock c6 zo6 and a GT3 rs...minus quality the 911 does not have enough...period

It easily had the pull of the 427rat 69 camaro that I had, but seemed to out handle either TT hands down. Coming out of some of the track corners, the instant on torque was wild and not as easy to break out as I thought. Before driving it, I had thought there would be no grip and the TT's would have the edge. Not a chance IMHO. The sound of a 911 is worth the price of admission, but open up the Z and it sounds like NASCAR (not sure if that is good or bad).
Now, the big problem is it's built by Chev and it looks and feels like a Chev. Will it hold its value or feel like a good deal 3 or 4 years from now? I don't know. But for a car that's half the price of a new TT, not bad!
