http://www.cnn.com/2006/AUTOS/08/30/cr_supercars/ Sports Car comparison, FWIW. Not sure I'd expect the 505hp Z06 to be only say 1 or 2 tenths faster 0 -60 than a 355hp 911. Randy

Replying to: kyfdx (Sep 01, 2006 7:06 am) All depends on how you arrive at truth. The 0-60 I remember for the Z06 is 3.7 sec's while on Edmunds I find the base 911 at 4.5 approx. They came up with 4.3 vs. 4.4 for the two cars, 6/10th's slower for the Chevy and 1/10th faster for the Porsche. Ignoring HP the torque comparison is 470 vs. 295, and that would seem to be hard pressed to explain with the term truth. Might even be lack of skill but after three times at the track with my C5 coupe I was able to hit the factory 13.3 in the quarter and I'm not really too good. Maybe cupholders is the real issue ...
