I of course like Porsche better than Corvette but I have never been a fan of the work of TechArt, at least not the bodywork.

Standard ZR-1 for me, please.

Probably the first time ever, I'll take Vette over Porsche! Unbeatable performance when it comes to value!

On the other hand, with a price-tag of €291,900 for a fugly 911... I'd rather get a proper super-car!

Not a fan of either one, but because of the recession I'll pick the chevy.

ZR1 without a doubt. I trust the ZR1 team when it comes to tuning than I trust Techart. Not to mention the price of the Techart is ridiculous, I could buy 2 ZR1s or 1 ZR1 and a GT-R.
