I am not sure how well a ZO6 handles either. I've read the reviews and the specs but a few weeks ago on the Tail of the Dragon a ZO6 couldn't come close to keeping up with me and my little RS 60 on two runs. I couldn't convince the Vette driver that I was stock.
Now.....that ZR-1 may be a whole other story........

Dude really it was the driver and not the car. A well driven C6 ZO6 will eat a Boxster and this is coming from me. I adore mine and have made it very fast, I have driven both and there is NO comparison.

I'm a vette owner and i can attest there is no comparison between a Z06 and a boxster when based on performance. i like my boxster a lot but the vette is a different animal.

I test drove a 2007 Corvette on May 20th (my birthday wish) as well as a Porsche 911. (Both automatics) As Fletch mentioned..... different animals. Both had great power, but the Vette had unbelievable power (throw you back in the seat power - get in trouble power, break the wheels loose power)

I have a full head of hair but I am 50... I may still get a vette in a few years after the love affair with the Boxster gets fullfilled.... waiting to see what the next new vette style looks like...

I agree about the "stupid fast" part, the penalty for overstepping the limits of a Corvette on the street are likely to be high. But the reason I don't like them is they're BIG, and WIDE. I like that "flickable", nimble feeling of a small, lighter car.
YMMV.

I have owned vettes since 1967. My first, a 63 Sting Ray was a blast. I do lament the fact that this sized vette is gone.

Having said that, there is nothing quite like the sound and feel of a small block Chevy engine when you hammer it. Very nice indeed.

Having both these cars is the answer. Depending on what you want to experience on that given day, you can have it.]
