PS- The current Z06 will drop a GT3 pretty nicely. That does not make the GT3 a bad car, it fact, it is a great car.

It just makes the Zo6 pretty darn good too!
hmmm...I was trying to find this to see what they said in detail but being out handled by a mazda speed and a bmw 3 series....yuck....I mean if it gets out handled by a bmw 330 sedan, or whatever model they are on, to me that's just well....not right.....

trust me I am a corvette fan, it was second choice to the box but I'm not wearing the Heartbeat of America blinders....both generation vettes I had handled like junk....I stopped at the C5

Yeah, 'vettes handle like junk. I guess all those stock-class (not to mention street prepared and prepared) Corvettes must have just used their power to beat out all manner of Elises, 911s, Caymans and M3s for their SCCA Solo National Championships. Yep.

shoot, I forgot the amount of time I spend commuting daily on the track as you would say...yep

I recognize its just my opinion based on the 2 vettes I have owned....still have one by the way drove it this week and on the ramps I take at 45 with the box I took at maybe 30 with the vette, if that, considering the back end really skipping at every bump....but for what its worth, go ahead and buy one and take it out on a nice rainy night....it's only your death

I'll be safe in the box.....

ps....it wasn't my list of cars that out handled the vette and there are definitely more out there....but here it is again....so I can't be the only one not impressed by its handling.....

Honda CSi
Corvette Z06
MazdaSpeed3
Honda S2000
BMW 3 Series

Mini Cooper S JCW GP
Mitsubishi EVO
Lotus Exige S
Cayman S
911 GT3
