Having owned 2 VWAG products within the last 3 years, I vowed never again.

Porsche all the way!

I wish people would just stop reminding me of the GT3, or I'll just sell my house and go buy one cash.

You can always take out a home equity loan.

I dunno if you can actually nearly/slightly/or in any way compare the c6 z06 to an enzo or an f50... unless you are looking at 0-60 times, and even then, the enzo wins.

on a track, i think not.


anyways.
audi looks great - but i'll take the gt3 (just not an audi guy I guess)

GT3. To me, any form of the 911 is iconic and Audi's have a reputation of being rather temperamental. When you look in your garage, which would make your heart jump higher? That's an easy one for me, the 911. I'd take the GT3 every time.

in acceleration times the Enzo is a bit quicker than the Z06, but the Z06 is def near/slightly close to the Enzo and the F50 (straight line).

As for the race track, the Enzo is a quicker, but the C6 Z06 stock has a ring time of 7:43 that's not bad (IMO) quicker than 996 GT3 cup and quicker than the 996 GT2 (note: this from a list of 'ring times '-> click)
