my two cents:
apples and oranges really...
for the track I'll take a c6 or zo6 over any Porsche any day of the week.

But we don't live on the track do we?

The peformance of the car is world class as proven in Sports Car racing but the styling and wheels are still disappointing and stuck in the 90's. The performance to match any Ferrari yet it looks inferior when parked next to a F430 or 360.
The interior of the Z06 is vastly better and I actually prefer it to the newer stuff from Porsche but c6 still needs lots of work. It still screams 'rental car'. And not to mention the "gold chain" driver stigma.
Ford was able to make the Ford GT look truly exotic so it is possible in America. Can't understand why Chevy still can't get it right. I'd be pissed if I were an engineer over there. All that work to make it perform and the design guys are five steps behind.
