'05 Corvette Z51 vs '05 Porsche CS (Motor Trend Jan '05)
My January '05 issue of Motor Trend came in today so I scanned up an article to keep you entertained.

wow they are evenly matched but i might go for the Vette cuz A it is a drop top and goes just as fast and B because it is a better car for the money. Vette? hmmmmm. NAH!
|
if it was my money ill take the vette, for sure.
|
Wow the Porsche seriously outcorners the Vette on the track when I thought it would be equal and maybe a bit in favour to the Corvette. I guess the Corvette is always going to win on the longer, straighter tracks while the Porsche the opposite.
|
Wow, for a $36,000 difference in price it would seem that all you're paing for in the Porsche is the name. What a waste....and a rip off!!!
Go Corvette Go!! |

i read about vette and 911 in new car and driver- wins vette,
because is more then 30 000 USD cheaper |
In the car and driver article they're comparing a standard carrera to a corvette with the z51 handling package. And in that the porsche only lost by one point.
Put the vette up against the CS? different story. |

So then it comes down to bang for buck...and thats where the porsche gets it ass kicked! |

Raw power...Once past 60, the C6 is actually noticeably quicker. Imagine if it were geared to hit 186 in 6th instead of 5th. :D I agree, for the money the C6 is hard to beat. But if Porsche continues to price their cars this way, and people continue to buy them, then more power to Porsche. Porsche hasn't really ever been about bang for the buck (924's notwithstanding), when compared to the mass market manufacturers. |

http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....ber=1&preview= The CS moves closer to the Corvette in terms of performance, but it also jumps several thousands in price. Automobile came to the same conclusion in comparing the C6 against the CS. (Although they felt the Corvette's ability to be balanced through turns on the throttle, its higher fun factor, and the appeal of open-top motoring were all factors; not just price alone.) |
Well the 911CS is not that great of a car. Its good yes, but there are faster Porsches out there, the TT for example, and if the C6 is even with the CS then I dont have much respect for the car.....Just think how it would do against a Turbo. :roll:
|
There are always faster cars out there and as said for $/performance ratio it's pretty friggen hard to beat the vette, but almost all the reviews i've read about the 997 carrera models says it just works so well together, every piece fits perfectly. Sometimes it isn't about raw numbers, but about how the car works with the driver (drivers can vouch for the satisfaction that brings). It seems in this respect the porsche is unmatched.
