The Z06 is one hell of a deal, it's faster in a straight line and beats the 997 GT3 on the Hockenheim, however having said that, the GT3 is my choice. Sure, it is 28,000 Euro's more expensive but it wins my heart. It looks amazing, sounds amazing and it's one hell of a performance vehicle.

Either way, i think both of these vehicles are great.

I whould go for the ZO6 more performance, less money and more exclusive(in europe)

In most countries here in europe the car easily sell for 80-90k. The GT3 might not pack as much power but it has better grip, offer much much better quality, evokes more emotions, is an icon and is just about the most valuable sport cars out there. The GT3 is simply the GT3 and can't be substituted for a vette.

If the Corvette is priced cheaply enough it's a tempting proposition but with boundless wealth my choice would obviously be the GT3.

The Z06 is an awesome car-no doubt, yet there is something about the GT3 that the Z06 doesnt have...Is it better materails and style, perhaps...Or is it simply because the GT3 is an uncompromised track vehicle...I would say the latter! Give me a GT3 please.

Of course I never expected the ZO6 to win in a german car forum
