Even then I have my Reservations about those overdone Price Tags.

No no no... ok come on... Ever here of the "corvette challenge"??? Read up on it cuz poerche was part of it as well. Seriously to say the vette handles like poo is just silly. Ive had a few and ive had some awd turbo eclipse's and now this porsche. Ill give cudos to any car but to say the vette is only a straight line kinda car ... Ya i dont think so lol this porsche handles like a dream for sure but my vettes does as well. My current vette has all poly bushings and an after market suspension. It handles great.

To the sticky tires in the other post. Had to, with the stock 300hp it would light em up. ive added about 150hp to it with 3:54 gears and a stall. I needed to get some of that to the ground

Again, takes no more than a mildly setup Miata or Civic to over take any typical Corvette. I've owned personally 9 built DSMs and during my rein of terror running Southwest Speed back in the day have built or oversaw the builds of many, and not one vette myself nor any of the group I would frequently talk to would compete, quick in straights against any Low HP car but road hogs in corners. My last DSM, when I was racing it was rolling on complete built suspension, 426awhp/393awtq quick spooling TD06 20g, etc... I'd attend as many events as I could and never placed behind a single vette.

In fact I hardly ever see Vettes at the track. Mustangs, Miata, Hondas, couple Porsche, various other cars but usually only 1 or 2 Vettes per event and always in my way. And easily lapped

*yawn* this thread isnt about vettes vs porsches but again ill say your comments are just silly. To say a vette is what you say ... Lol nope. Ive owned two dsm's as well one built and one stock. Besides the fact that we are comparing cars that are in different classes the vette holds its own against the best of them. This is about as juvenile as "my dad can beat up your dad" when in the end ... Both our dads can make pancakes on a sunday morning just fine for both our families lol. Dont get me wrong i love these debates but i stand by my view that to say a vette is junk compared to what ever is just silly. Shucks go read a motor trend or any other car mag that compares them. Vettes are amazing cars. Every car has its strengths and weakness
