The Porsche 911 GT2 is more powerful and both quicker and faster on a drag strip (and more expensive) than a Porsche 911 GT3, yet we still prefer the immediacy of the GT3's naturally aspirated engine, its linear power delivery and the overall cohesive personality of the chassis. The same goes for the Corvette Z06 Carbon.
Like the Porsche 911 GT3, the Corvette Z06 Carbon embodies core values and fundamental virtues; it is the ultimate expression of the model. You can choose a slower version, a faster version, a convertible and so on (there will be seven different Corvette models to choose from in 2011), but the decision will always turn on the inherent goodness that the Z06 Carbon represents.
