Corvette Z06 vs Porsche 911 Turbo ....

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Corvette Z06 vs Porsche 911 Turbo .... (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 2/25/2006 3:09:13 AM EDT

I think the new Z06 is a mans car and the Porsche 911 Turbo is for CEO's with too much money and no dick.

The Boxter is a joke and the Cayman is for pussies - give me a straight C06.

I'd pipe in with a Mustang GT or one of the new Dodges, but were talking sports-cars here - either is classier than a Porsche, though.

Euro-trash, I say!!!!!

I too think that the new Z06 is the baddest thing rolling on 4 wheels that you don't have to get fitted for.

Nothing wrong with a 911 Turbo...Probably the only supercar you can mount skis on and drive in the snow. Its not a big of a bargain as the Z06 but for $125,000 its not nearly as outrageous as some of the other cars...Here's a Porsche that I can't understand...A Cayenne S...525hp in an SUV? Sorry if I'm going that fast I want my butt sitting low to the pavement..

But yeah, the Z06 is faster off the line

This is a man who has never driven a Porsche... or doesn't have the skill. And to compare the land yacths that are the Mustang and Charger to either the 911 or the Corvette is like comparing shit to gold.

Well, I got to actually drive a 911. And I have driven many Vettes. The 911 I drove was an S, not even the Turbo. ANd, I must say the it kicks butt on any Vette. I like my GT better for looks. But, As far as a real sport car with handleing. 911 takes it. 0 to 60 rocks.... 60 to 140 is better yet. And those pesky 25 mph ramps...... Lets just say my stang will not even complete and niether will the Vette. And just so you know every suspension componant on my car has been changed out for autocross. I have well, over $6000 into it at cost. So, There is what I think....

28 pounds of boost and only 520bhp.

Sounds like a low compression slug that probably has to fight pretty hard to make it's power. I'd hate to be in their warranty department.

If I want a hi-po SUV I'd get a Chevy TrailBlazer SS. But I don't understand period the point of the Cayenne. It's just a poseur attempting to be a Porsche.

$90+ grand for an SUV? Come on.

The only sports SUV I would buy right now is the first sports SUV made. The GMC Typhoon.

I have always wanted a Porsche, ever since I was a kid. The 'Vette just doesn't so it for me in the same way. Well, maybe a Chip Foose modified '63 would.....

The Z06 is a $65k car though, and I don't think there's much else out there that performs as well at that price. People make the mistake of thinking that because it's an American car it must not handle well. It's no 911, but it definately handles better than anything else at that price with that much power. Oh wait, there isn't anything else with that much power at that price.

I think the C6 is definately the best design of the 'Vette since the C2, and is a gigantic improvement over the C5 visually. Amazing that they can make it look so much better with such minor changes. A shame that it took them so long. The C6 is the car that the C5 should have been.

With all of that said, if I had $70k, I'd be damn hard pressed not to buy a new 911.

Uh, no. The C5 is the vette everyone waited for, clearly a leap above all previous vettes.

The C6, takes off from there. It's an evolution of the C5, but visually GM missed the boat on the C6.

A Porsche 911is a man's car, anyone who says otherwise has a very narrow insight of actual vehicles. The new Vette looks like a Ferrari looks like a Dodge Viper, its lost his nostalgia.

You wouldn't be biased or anything, would you?

As stated, I think that the C6 is a vast improvement over the C5 visually, and that the subtle changes corrected all the flaws in the C5 design.

I would agree. I love C5s as well but the appearance always left something to be desired to me, mainly due to the big fat ass they have (the C5 Z06s were even worse IMO). The C6 actually seems to have a as big or maybe bigger rear but the design is such that it greatly cuts down on how big it looks. I vastly prefer the creased muscular look too. The C6 is a sweet sweet bitch. 400hp base is hot shit too...

911 Turbos of course are sweet as well, no way I'll ever buy one though, for that kind of coin I'd rather have something else.

My memory fails me at the moment but I believe one of the few production cars to beat the new Z06's time on the Nurburing or however you spell it was the Carrera GT, a much much more expensive ride... Pretty sure the Z06 stomped the last 911 Turbo's times, don't know about the newest one... That Z06 is flat out amazing for the money.

Of course I am, silly question. I still dont like the look of the C6 but it does have the innards and the C6Z06 is a killer beast, no doubt. The horsepower of the C6 is available in the C5 for a couple thousand in mods, much cheaper than the purchase of a new Vette.

That fat ass on the C5 says Corvette to me and it helps get the car it's .29 drag CO.

Here's an interesting treatment of the fat ass:

Which of course you can put into the C6 and get even greater increases.

If you're comparing buying a used C5 for $20k against buying a new C6 for $50k, then yes the HP:$ ratio comes out in favor of the C5 with $2k in mods. But once you start down that path you quickly wind up getting ridiculous. I saw a Datsun 210 at Moroso a couple of weeks ago that will smoke any showroom 'Vette and the guy probably had all of $10k into the whole thing.

Don't get me wrong 'Pooby, I like the C5 and 'Vettes in general, but I just think that the C6 is the best one since the '63 splitwindow disapeared in '64.

I agree with Pooby (and so does the entire automotive press) regarding the C5 being the greatest single-year improvement the Corvette has ever seen.

I also agree with you that the C6 looks better, only I don't think it looks THAT much better. I simply like the reduced overhangs and the slightly more chiseled lines.

BTW - I'm in Jupiter and have been to Moroso a couple times. I was there for Cyclepalooza a few weeks back. Where are you located?

You kinda missed my point. For those of us who dont like the C6 styling(and we are legion), getting the performance of a C6 is easy and cheaper. If you want to spend the same money, you could install one of the many LS7 motors available or look for LPE's 8.3L monster motor soon. The point is moot though because I dont have those dollars, I'm just saying.

All things being equal, if you offered me a C6 I wouldnt take it. If you offered me the performance in a C5 body, I would. I wouldnt take a ZR1 either, I just dont like the look.

Interesting you mention the '63 split-window Vette. My FRC, being a bastard model only made in '99 and '00 is being likened to the '63 in rarity/cult following. It perhaps will become such a collector one day.

ETA: I'm north of Lakeland, my closest tracks are Lakeland and Bradenton. I would like to get down to Moroso for a track day though and I have looked into it.

Some Corvette mag I bought had an article about some performance industry show in Orlando. In the article they had an 8.3L block (I forget who made it) and they said Lingenfelter (may have been Callaway) got the first ones. Sorry I cant be more specific, I dont have the mag here.

They make the displacement with a bolt on plate between the block and the head that's about an inch thick! It'll be a monster torque motor with a 5.5" stroke!!

If you're near Bradenton, I wouldn't bother. Moroso isn't fit to brush the starting line of the guys at Bradenton.... largely because they never brush the starting line.

When we had the all GTO day at Bradenton, they prepped the track (water, the oily tacky crap, brushing the entire length of the trach) between every cycle. Moroso doesn't prep the track at all and only brushes it if someone's engine explodes.

But, if you're going to make it down to Moroso some time drop me a PM. I only go on Wednesday nights and I line up on the Dial-in side.

I got the info on that block. It's by erlperformance and it's called their "Superdeck 2".
www.erlperformance.com/products/shopexd.asp?id=19

Not much info there, this is quoted from Vette magazine in an article about the SEMA show.

"It can accomadate displacements up to 500 ci when fitted with a custom 4.5" crank.
Corvette tuner Chuck Mallet was among the first to receive one of these behemoths, so dont be suprised to see an 8.2 liter C6 screamer bearing the Mallet Cars logo in the very near future."

Pooby,
I have to agree and add this...GM added too much uber-techno crap to the C6. Come on, navigation, OnStar, shaved door handles with electric poppers?! (Nothing against OnStar but not in a purist car like the Vette.

Thanks for the info on that deej, I'm not real familiar with the C6 interior, just the outside and engine compartment. While not a fan of Onstar, Nav units are becoming more popular but not my cup of tea either. They do look cool though.

Kinda of reminds me of the original GSXR 1100. Superlight 100+ hp bike with a great frame. Five years later it had 60+ more hp but weighed over 150lbs more!! Zero gain, just a heavier bike.

I'm definately going to be putting the XM enabled nav system in my GTO in a few months. Thankfully I'm not concerned with what category the car is supposed to fit in and whether or not a luxury item will violate that definition.

The XM version is damn cool, as it receives traffic updates and puts them up on the screen and makes detour suggestions to get around accidents. If you live in an urban environment that is 10x more important than 1/4 mile times or horsepower.

If I wanted a truly basic sports car I'd build one, not buy one. But for any that are such purists that they think a car should be nothing more than an engine and a transmission and wheels, feel free to pick up a Lotus Elise for less than the price of a new C6.

The ONLY Porsche faster than the LS7 Z06 around Nurburgring is the $440k Carrera GT.

Ah, I understand now. Sorry bro. I have driven the Turbo, only one word - choice. That said, also driven new/old Corvettes and love them. As for (potentially) giving up a 911 Turbo for a Z06 with an M60 instead... can't fault you for that!

It's definitely the LS7-powered 'Vette (C6 Z06) but that Porsche 911 GT2 costs some $180-190k!!!

Add in a few thousand dollars and the ZO6 would walk past the GT. Kind of funny for a leaf springed American POS.

If we spend that few grand on a blower or twin turbos so we can race in the same class and all your Porches will see nothing but Corvette taillights (from far away).

We'll still be able to afford that M60 and have cash for ammo!

Well, I got to actually drive a 911. And I have driven many Vettes. The 911 I drove was an S, not even the Turbo. ANd, I must say the it kicks butt on any Vette. I like my GT better for looks. But, As far as a real sport car with handleing. 911 takes it. 0 to 60 rocks.... 60 to 140 is better yet. And those pesky 25 mph ramps...... Lets just say my stang will not even complete and niether will the Vette. And just so you know every suspension componant on my car has been changed out for autocross. I have well, over $6000 into it at cost. So, There is what I think....

I'd be more impressed with your opinion if you could spell correctly.

But for any that are such purists that they think a car should be nothing more than an engine and a transmission and wheels, feel free to pick up a Lotus Elise for less than the price of a new C6.

What's wrong with that?

I'd LOVE to have an Elise. Lotus yellow, please. I just wish I could afford one, but I need to replace my current POS with something that's a little more practical as a daily driver.

You're prices are waaaaay off... Zonda is more like half a mil, same with the SLR. Stock 911 (the new 997) is about 90.
