As much as I like staring at the Porsche...I just can't get over the fact how Race-ish the GT3 looks and yet barely beats the Z06. Personally there is no satisfaction than beating a stuck up rich a-hole in a "budget racer"!!

Now if the Z06 was running semi slicks...this would be different story!!

In Europe, tough cheaper than its rivals, the Z06 isn't a budget car.

That's wrong!

Nah, seriously, Z06 has 85 hp more than GT3RS but I would have expected GT3 RS to beat it because it's very track-oriented car. Z06 has some serious qualities but lack of image, I think Europeans are pretty loyal to European sports cars. It is not a problem in USA. It needs more than such a great performance for some bigger succes here.

in sweden z06 and rs4 are not far off. A Z06 is cheaper than a 997S. There is no other car that offer as much performance as Z06 for a lower price.

In November I raced my 914-6 (not a street car, but a total race car with carbon fiber body, slicks, etc) with a C6 Z06 on Hoosiers. My 914-6 is faster than all of the 996 GT3's except for one or two with the best drivers (on Hoosier slicks). My 914-6 has been faster than all C5 Z06's I have seen on the track. The C6 Z06 on Hoosier slicks was incredible. Of course he pulled from me on the straights, but even under braking and cornering I was no match. I was shocked. The RS and the Z06 are great cars, and both great fun to drive. The good thing in the US is the Z06 is not very expensive and there are alot of them around. I saw 3 today alone. They do not hold their value well will be even less expensive in the near future.

I was looking at hockenheim times for the Z06, that car is absolutely amazing....I prefer the RS personally, but still the ZO6 is an amazing performer.

THere is no excuse for that interior however.....
