My girlfriend's dad has a Porshe Carerra, and I can say that's one car that I HATE. It looks way too girly.

Almost all Porsche sports cars have a Carrera trim. Especially the 911's that you spoke of before.

You get alot of speed and handling for the money when it comes to the Z06. But speed and handling is not everything. Like the statements on page 2. You see vettes everyday. "What makes panties more wet? Vette or Ferrari/Lambo/Porshe??? Plus..you see Vettes everyday (well z06's every other day).."

The answer to this question will be affected greatly depending if you are into cars or into image. If you are more of the primitive mind and buy a car because it is your passion many will probably find the Z06 hard to beat (based on price vs. performance). If you have the money and want to impress the Z06 will probably not be a consideration.

If you think driving a badass porche will instantly get you *****, you are mistaken. Im sure the only girls that will straight up jump in your car and give it up just because you have nice car aren't smart enough to know the difference between a corvette Z06 and a carrera GT, and if you bang those girls, your about as smart as they are. Either way, I don't think you'll have to worry about that situation anyway.

I'd buy the Z06 before I'd buy any one of those cars. Plus given the choice between just picking one I'd take the vette, i don't want a $5000 dollar valvetrain adjustment every 5k and and a $600 dollar oil change every 3K.

I pulled the same ***** in my firebird as I did in my C5. IT NOT ABOUT THE CAR!

Amen. I'll put money down that I could drive around in my 91 Geo Prizm all the time and still get more *** than half the douches driving their exotics.

Trust me I have asked myself this for along time. I have lived in this area all my life and really started paying attention to them when the C5's came out. I went by there today and 3 of 35-40 C6's are gone that were there yesterday. I swear they sale at least 15-20 Vettes a week. They are also a reason why alot of the other Chevy dealers around me only have 2-3 Vettes on their lot

well coming from my stand point if you pulled up to me in that ugly *** Porche carrera GT thing you call a car i would have to get out and personally **** in you're gas tank, now the ferrari is a little cooler so maybe just a dump on the hood... screw those damn 5000000000 dollar cars, if you have to use you're damn car to take someones girl or get a girl period that sucks for you!!

I'm with you, i think every Porsche looks exactly the same and are FUGLY. And if you need a car to pick up girls thats a damn shame. I'd take a Z06 over any of that exotic ****, and still beat 90% of them with the air on high. Because in this country no one has those cars, Z06 = king of american streets, hands down. And the people that complain about interrior... who cares? No one wants to buy a Vette because of interrior, they buy it for the gas pedal and the look.

HELL YEAH!!

You know what it is? It's the old "transference" Supra syndrome. Fanboyzz think that just because something is fast/quick, it also has to be the BEST looking thing on the planet as well.
Now granted, properly modded MKIV 2JZGTEs and Carerra GTs are crazy fast, and the Porsche sounds insane when revved, but IMO they are quite FAR from the "most beautiful things in all of autodom" as a lot think of them.

Quite a few cars in this "500 HP Club" seem to top it that I wouldn't think outperform the Z06 in every way, but I was surprised to see Mercedes owning it up so well:

I'd give both nuts for that Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.

How many days do you see these??









I'm pretty sure I've seen all those cars in the past week... just driving around. Damn Miami, it's desensitized me to all cars. I actually notice z06's more because I don't see them as often, just regular C6's.

okay, WOW this thread has gone way astray... yes we understand european exotics might be the most awesome to some, but who cares... the fact of the matter is if you rely on a car to get you laid, damnit you better wrap that thing up. sorry folks, ***** go for "hot" rides.
