Apex seals and **** sound complicated. Though if they made like Penta-Rotor motor I'd be all about it.

I'd rather do double 1JZ's than a single 2JZ. The double 1JZ's spool faster. Stock tranny...stock rearend.

If you did some work, you wouldn't be playing and hijacking peoples threads. Stop playing on the Xbox and computer and contibute your services to the job. With that said I am going to go patrol ebay and see what I can find to buy today. I have been at work for 3 hrs and have done nothing but goof off on the computer.

Powell, that is twice now that I've seen you pre-mention me joining into a discussion. I appreciate you thinking of me so often, sweetie

I'd like to see a GT2/ZR1 comparison too. They probably didn't have one available at the time of this article, and the prices are closer between the ZR1/911T. Guys don't cross-shop a GT2 and ZR1, two different ballparks.

Porsches are mostly an image car they drive funny, suck in reliability and always break. Ask me how I know?

Really? That's why I've had 0 real problems other than some bad gas here and there. Pushed the stock motor to over 900rwhp at some points and rev it to 7800 RPM (6700 RPM stock). Obviously they are REALLY unreliable... And the first one we had, had no problems...

Did you own an 80s one or something?

They should have compared those two because they are comparing the top of the line Corvette against the bottom end of the Porsche Turbo series... Though the GT2 RS would make a joke of the ZR1 straight line, turns, etc.. stock for stock so I guess that's the reason why.

Regardless I'd own either car because they are bad ***! The ZR1 is a bad bitch and it was proven with Andrew (ProStreets ZR1).

PS: In before Tony say's I'm one upping on here but he'll say the exact opposite on 6speed LOL!
If I am not mistaken there has been other people that have put the GT2 vs the ZR1. They showed the video and spoke about it.
ZR1 walks the GT2 from a roll and GT2 takes the ZR1 from a dig.

This could be a bit bias but if you find the video it does look like the ZR1 driver is a little laggish on the shifting. (which is noted in the video using different words)

TT911's are especially slow in the 60-130 competitions.
