Porsches have always been a dominate force on the street and the track. Rules were changed because of the fuel injection...turbo boost and amount of power generated with various displacement motors. Look at the 935...917...962....etc.
Aye guys.....both cars setup correctly will crush anything. THey are already fast.....I own an old 930 turbo built and beats my stock 7.0L Z06 to 130mph. 30 year old car built. Bone stock the Z06 is a beast. Newer porsches and corvettes both handle like on rails. COrvettes were not known for their handling until recently. Porsches were always a more balnced car. It wasn't until the ZR1 came out in 1990 that the V8's were back and found a way to generate power around the smog regulations.
In a strait line drag like this displacement will ALWAYS dominate. We all know the Porsche would win on the track every day because that is where its soul is. Whats the point in owning an un-balanced car with shabby plastics, GM's poor build quality, and Barby girl drag? The vette is all grunt especially when its 6 liters are boosted.
Speaking as a European I think the Z06 is quite a nice car and it is faster in a straight line and on a track but you wouldn't get away with driving one over here. Driving an American car is like blasphemy, the disrespect would be too much to live with. In Europe arriving in an American car is like turning up to the opera with a Hawaian shirt and combat shorts on. Porsche = Class Corvette = Trash. Visit Monaco if you don't believe me.
but who would care? what matters is who is faster, and about the disrespect, im not european nor american, im mexican so I wouldn't care if I show up in a corvette in monaco, or any place in italy or europe. =) Italy has expensive and nice clothes, as well as cars, but americans have nice and agressive muscle cars... not just cars.
i agree. the majority of people are ignorant and cant admit that the corvette is one of the top track car. just because its "american" doesn't mean its worthless. a TRUE car performs well on TRACK, not the streets. anyone can do well on the street, just add upgrades (turbos/nos) and ur car is set for the street. but that will NOT help you on track. the corvette has proven it can go up against supercars by Porches, Lamborghini, Ferrari, etc...
Though I'm a Porsche fan this is pure ignorance, the Vettes, especially the z06, handle VERY well and stay competitive with any P car on similar tires.
@kushnugz when you are going above 150 you want cars around you to be able to see you so they can either stay in their lane or move before you get too close because panic braking at those speeds is just unrealistic no matter how good your brakes are....plus you're pretty much fucked if you get clocked on radar at those speeds anyway haha
I love Porsche but yea theres alot you can do to the Z06 a guy here in az with stock block put down 900rwhp with a procharger no even a turbo. Can alway throw an iron block and go for 1500hp or LSX 2500hp both sic cars though
What if you send the Vette to Lingenfelter?...protomotive??? come on man.... When you go forced induction on a V8 it's game over for almost anything out there.. especially when it's going up against a machine with range of 1000hp+ (Lingenfelter Corvette)...
You'll burn lot of rubber and you won't manage to turn anymore without massive oversteer....I don't even speak about clutch, gearbox and driveshaft...
Another overprised, overated porsche bites the dust. So much for german engineering. I bet that 600hp porsche motor cost $50K to build, and the Vette, $20K. I'll take the Vette anyday!
i agree id take the vette... but dude porshe's kick ass!! there soo well designed and there cheap in comparison to other european sports cars. id love to have either one
Porsche enthusiast (LOSERS) always talking sh$@t about how the Porsche would destroy a vette on the track. Yeah right! Just like Britney's a responsible MOM and People in HELL want ice water, it will NEVER happen!
what a pussy porsche driver! If your driving a 600hp turbo porsche, why would you be so afraid to floor it unless you already know it's way slower than a 600hp vette that weighs at least 400 lbs less!
porsche aint weak its just that the corvette would blow it away in straight ine speed, but not in the track...btw what kinda car do ya have? carrera s here...4 secs till 60mph
hehe so he read the brochure.. Actually, the Z06 would destroy it both on track and in a straight line. The Z06 took the Ferarri F430 on the Sebring raceway, it pulled away and it was gone in minutes. Ofcourse Porsche doesn't suck, it's a very good car, just the new vettes are just better with performance now.
I guess german engineering is superior when that 600hp twin turbo porsche saw vette rear wheel lights by what like 5 lenghts? Go park your german twin turbo. Vettes rule the planet..Period
This was a pretty good race, but it kinda looked like the guy in the porsche was intimidated from jump by the vette. The driver of the vette obviously new what he had and was totally confident and solid with his driving.
great cars. great jams.
