I don't buy that "get what you pay for" when it comes to Porsche anymore. I think your paying for the name more than anything. No way could anyone convince me that a Porsche that cost the same as or more than a Z06 is better than a 3LT Vette much less a 3LT Z06. I also think track times are very misleading when comparing cars. Unless the times posted were tested against another car on the same day by the same driver I take track times with a grain of salt. For instance depending on DA I can run .3 tenths slower or faster at my local drag strip depending on the DA that day. That's just a 1\4 mile lasting around 12 seconds. I can't imagine what the difference would be in a race that takes over 7min.
