The Seventh-Generation Porsche 911 is Lighter, Faster and More Efficient

GMarsack,
I believe you mean, " In outer space, no one can hear a tree fall in the forest ".

Because, when I go walking in the forest, between the trees via the space, and a tree falls, I do hear it fall, sir.

Oh, I am going to "add this car to my cart" too.
Would you like to race?
Very COOL car!!

My corvette has a higher top speed, and can do 0-60 in 3.9 as well. Gets 28MPG on the freeway, looks equally as sexy (imo), also brakes each tire differently around turns, has what I call the "no crash button" which makes precision controlled slides around turns childs play, and was a hell of a lot cheaper (I bought mine with 20k miles on it for $30k)

A nice car... Yes, but I am too cheap to spend over 90k on a car when I can spend $30k and get a comparable car with a few miles on it (corvettes loose a large amount of their value when you drive them off the lot)

Fair enough. You put an engine on top the rear wheels you get a pretty good 0-60.

If you must buy an imported $96K VW fine. I too prefer my American made Corvette that does just as good or better and cost about half that.

Heck, for the $96K (I say that because you need options) you might as well get a ZR1 and get WAYYYYY better everything.

It's starting to look like an Aston, not that that's a bad thing.

Methinks these corvette guys protest too much. My $20 watch keeps time as well as a Rolex, but...

quick question for the corvette guys...how much hp does ur car have? 638 hp is the advertised amount with the v8. compare that to 400hp with a flat 6. plus the vette drops value faster and sharper than the porshe. sure ur big v8 may hit a few mph faster but this is against the 911 Carrera not the gt2 gt3 or ruff mod editions. these cars cost more because they're worth more. ill put money on a gt3 over a zr1 anyday.

Simply put .. When has the Corvette ever won any kind of sponsored race .. None that I can think of.. Porsche regularly wins in races. Translates to the road car.. Also, when my car reaches 100k miles, I will not have to worry about the plastic pieces of my dashboard falling off.. :)

Yet another nearly identical Porsche 911, yawn. One would think that in 50 odd years of making their glorified VW beetle, Porsche would have done something intelligent like moving the engine forward of the rear axle where it belongs. Maybe a styling change or two would have been nice also...

As for getting 400 hp out of a flat six, Subaru manages 600+ hp on their top-end flat sixes. A modified Corvette engine can make over 1200 hp (in the Hennessey Venom GT, for example). Not impressed with 400...

I'm a partner in a luxury auto boutique and have had the profound pleasure of driving almost every dream car I've ever aspired to (from Murcielagos, Scudieras, a ZR1 and a T-Rex etc.) My first 'real' car I purchased when I was young was a Corvette and for a while there I swore by the crossed flags. That is of course, until I drove my first 911. For those of you whom preach what you read on paper and limit yourselves to American muscle, you'll never really get it. And I do feel sorry for you. Driving the 'Vette is akin to driving a sledgehammer while the 911; a scalpel. I do enjoy the odd rip in a 'Vette and breaking the tires loose through the first 4 gears but it doesn't even come close to the exhilaration you'll find in a Porsche.

Try a 911 once and it will change your world.

Go ahead and argue all you want and make excuses about price point and so on and so forth. The finer things in life come at a price, and the Porsche is indeed a finer car. You can argue that your $199 suit from The Men's Warehouse will perform just fine but as soon as you button up an Armani you'll get the picture.

Further... To those who argue HP; clearly you haven't driven both cars. Point the 'Vette in a straight line and you'll have fun, no doubt. Try taking a 911 all the way through 2nd gear on a windy road and it will change everything you felt about driving.

“Thank god there’s no 48-hour race anywhere in the world, because chances are nobody could beat Porsche in a 48 hour race. They’re probably the only cars in the world that would stand up for something like that.” – Carroll Shelby, quoted in Porsche advertising brochure, 1972.

"Judging by the car you have chosen, you are motorist of a special breed…." – from 911 Owner’s Manual

In an older interview I saw of Dale Earnheart Jr. a few years ago. Interviewer asked, "What is your worst moment in racing". Jr. replied "Once I let someone talk me into driving a slow as hell Corvette in a GP race and I spent all day getting passed by Porsches in this slow ass Vette. I was setting in this thing thinking can I get a Porsche please. I mean I am a competitor and it just really stung getting passed lap after lap. I could not wait to get out of that damn car. I sure knew what the backside of a Porsche looked like after that day. About a week later I bought a Turbo 911."

Porsche's are like children, you won't understand until you have had one
-Factory Poster

Yes, Porsche is great at advertising their own products. That's called marketing, it's how most companies survive.

Porsches are nothing like children. They are simply an evolution of Hitler's car design that desperately needs to be tossed in the junkyard.

By the way, the 911 isn't only competing with the Corvette, it's also competing with Jaguar, Mercedes Benz, Dodge (Viper), TVR, Aston Martin (my personal favorite), Ferrari, Audi (ironic, huh?), and numerous others.

Let's be honest; Jaguar doesn't compete. The Dodge Viper is easily one of the poorest cars I've ever driven. I've driven almost every Aston and Ferrari in the market right now and they're incredible cars in their own accord, but for a different kind of owner. Audi is boring, ask any R8 owner, pretty cars -but boring. Every R8 I've sold ends up in a phone call 2 weeks later where the client says they'll sell back to anyone interested, and they opt for a Ferrari. TVR I haven't actually driven yet but c'mon, when was the last time that was actually compared to a car in the public marketplace? Mercedes' car that is considered against a 911 is the SL series and it's really a gentleman's Corvette.

I can't trash the Corvette, because I've owned one, and I like the car. What I'm saying is that the 911 is a finer automobile. Hands down. If you use price point as your only argument, then you may as well go supercharge a 5.0 Mustang and argue that. If you haven't driven one, you wouldn't understand. I was in your corner (almost got the crossed flags tattooed) until I drove a 911. Now I take back everything I ever said. Kind of like I feel like doing now as this is a waste of breath. I wished I'd just smiled, and pulled ahead.
