NSXTASY_MD said:They're more impressive than just the sum of their numbers....for example, someone might falsely think a Z06 is more impressive than a GT3 becuase it has a little more power at roughly the same weight...this is an ignorant and superficial analysis* (to say the least). A lot of people just don't understand all the other fundamentals that go into a sports (or race)car being fast and impressive on a track.
The GT3 has many years of refined suspension design, re-calibration, production methods, etc...built into it from direct racing knowledge on the track...this is NOT true for vettes. (And NO, your street vettes share nothing with the ones on the american le-mans series, LOL....whereas the 911 GT3-R's DO with the street GT3)
...sorry I didn't see this post earlier but I don't visit the forum ever hour of every day, lol.
...your "analogies" are ridiculous (comparing a VETTE to a 360 modena and 911 Turbo)(the members of this forum already saw through that immediately)
...your personal attacks are unwarranted...
...your overall tone and offensively argumentative state clearly displays an emotionally unstable persona, considering we're all enthusiasts and my comments where only to point out how superb the GT3 is. (i.e. you sound like a angry red-neck LOL)
...your attention to the OBVIOUS is clouded by your extreme bias. You OWN a vette(...which is VERY fitting to the YOUR persona....the cars hallmarks are being CRUDE & brute, just like your arguments and tone respectively) (ps: i don't own a porsche nor was I every an active PCA member) ...Rear-engine 911's have been DOMINATING ANY and EVERY form of sportcar racing since the early **70'S** Porsche is the MOST race-winning auto manufacturor in history and that success is mostly due to the rear-engine 911's. Which also goes to completely unmerit your ridiculous "first year engineering student" argument as to how poor of a configurantion the 911's is.
"Bulldozer" (is that what you operate for a living, lol?)....At first I thought you had valid motives behind how bias and argumentative your ininsightful, illogical and offensively arguamentative statements/comments were. Now I see that your just an ignorant "red-neck." An internet troll that has FAR too much time on his hands...get a life. Someone who HAS to counter ANY and EVERY statement that doesn't support his own views...and do it by peltering the other person with a barrage of ridiculous analogies, unwarranted attacks, bias facts and the disregard of the obvious. It's beneath me to even respond to your ridiculous counters with offensive one's of my own (as this)...but I wanted to school you as to why myself (and a few others) will no longer respond to anything you have to write*
PS: Have the last word...
"...your "analogies" are ridiculous (comparing a VETTE to a 360 modena and 911 Turbo)(the members of this forum already saw through that immediately)" - Although I do agree that the 360 is a faster track car than a Z06 don't think that the 911 Turbo can just dispatch the Z06 on the track. The performance capabilities of the cars are extremely close.
Also, if the rear engined configuration is so superior, as demonstrated by Porsche's racing success through the ages, why would Porsche make the Carrera GT as a midengined car? Wow, they even commit the travesty of naming it a Carrera. Surely the performance benefits of the rear engined design format would make the choice clear.
More information for those who care, John Heinricy(sp?) drove the 04 Z06 to the time of 7:56 on Nurburgring (unknown track configuration). Coincidentally that is much faster than the current 360 Modena, the real question is WHY?
