I hear where you are coming from but simple fact remains that on paper where dollar for dollar matters the vette is cheaper more hp faster 1/4 etc.. In day to day life your still left with Cavalier quality interior and exterior parts. Overall the quality of a Vette is low, the materials used are crappy and the feeling of the car is heavy, awkward, and the trannies suck poo. If your willing to live with that then it will be a faster car dollar for dollar.

If you measure two cars together with the same stats, GT3 vs. Z06 the GT3 is clearly better at everything. It is more expensive yes, but it's also a Porsche and not a Cavalier with a V8 in it.

I just couldn't be happy with the low overall quality in the Vette. I have driven some Z06's and they are just too klunky and junky for me. I'd spend the extra on something faster and more refined.

And don't compare the GTR cars to Porsche's racing initative. GM spends 6x as much money in that series as porsche does. We all know money wins races.... Take Porsche's cars and GM's money and guess what would happen?
