I have a Camaro, they look nothing a like in the Tail Light Department.
I need to get a side by side pick from the Back to prove the point.

yes, id like to see the official list of "exotic cars"...and who compiled it. [btw, i dont consider the C7 an exotic car, but very much enjoy it....have not yet evolved to the "love" it stage]

im curious as to which specific demographic(s) you refer.(this is not a critical question, but a serious one, as i tend to agree with you)

if you read the stats, youll see that the only 911 that the C7 will not beat is the turbocharged one. it will beat all the na 911s that i have seen.

now this sounds like something i would say. ntl, id be willing to bet a significant amount of money that every car gm built has not been recalled. how much do you want to wager?

so, theres your difference? at the light, give me the vette. at the CC, give me the porsche (costs 2X). sh*t, mea culpa, now i have to go out and buy a porsche....sorry kids (the inheritance), the forum made me do it.

great post--remember it. george vee is ok (actually, i have no clue, never met him/her). next time someone asks me why i waited from the '53 model til now, ill just send them this pic. [although, its not quite fair--e.g., you show the wheels on the C7 and not on the whatever, and the chrome is shined on the C7 and not the whatever. plus, the angle shows the lines better on the C7. point: whoever photoed this, wanted the C7 to win--and it did].

yes, but the point is, when youre waving in the f-car, do you wave to vetters, or f'ers, and when you do, which one are you representing as the waver--i.e., e.g., when youre in your vette, do you wave to an f-car, and if you do are you waving as a vetter or an f'er? is that clear? it seemed so, when i wrote (ok, typed) it.

if being intelligently informed were a criterion for posting, the iternet/web would be a lonely place indeed. ntl, well said----ah, the wisdom of our youth.:thumbs:

Ed, please give him (the 50-guy) my contact info--id like to speak with him. you can use my post history as a reference. thanks, george

ok, thats all.

I guess for a racer, like yourself, that's really important and the criteria for purchase.

For a lot of people who don't race, other performance factors come into play. You may or may not be getting your money's worth from Porsche but you are getting something for your money and that something is valued by lots of people.

Why all the haters? Porsches are great cars. I owned and drove a 997 version of the 911 Carrera for several years, and it was fun, fast, reliable, and not terribly expensive to service. Now I have a C7. I liked the Porsche a lot, but I LOVE the C7. It's a very different type of car, with the low-end torque, great V-8 music, and impressive styling. I bought the Z51 package and all the goodies, even though I will never track the car. And, as some of you have said, I likely cannot tell the difference between 3.8 seconds 0-60 for the C7 and 4.0 seconds (or thereabouts) for the Porsche 991 model Carrera S. But, the C7 feels way quicker and faster then my Porsche (Porsche said it was 4.8 seconds 0-60 at the time), and it certainly handles better with the perfect weight distribution and the fact that the engine isn't hanging out over the a$$ end of the car.

One observation someone made that I can't let go of - the Corvette is not underpriced so much as others like Porsche are overpriced. Granted, $75k is a lot of money, especially since most of these cars are bought for 'fun' rather than primary transportation. Noe: mine is a DD, but I know for others it's not always the case. Porsche makes a good car, but you can't convince me that a similarly equipped Carrera S that stickers for ~$120k is $40k-$50k better than the C7, or that it costs that much more to produce it. I think the C7 will increase in price for the 2015 year, but it will still be considerably less than the Porsche.

I agree with the recalls looking bad, but at the same time it's good that GM isn't taking anymore chances with their cars. Better to nip the problem in the bud rather than letting it get to be a much worse problem.

Interesting post and thanks for sharing.

Exactly and they are close enough that it is a drivers race regardless.

is about typical for posts other than "dude, whats your fav color".

well, actually never raced a car, and never will. only bought the C7 because i liked the lines--finally became more european than domestic. i bought it because i always wanted to drive a really fast car, and this was the first domestic sports car ive liked. also, after reading this forum, it seemed to be the car that would draw the most attention to me. i know most members are far more mentally advanced than i, but thats ok with me. if i live long enough, ill probably try a porsche, in, say 3-4 years. they seem to be an excellent vehicle overall--particularly for a paltry 6 cylinders--and those people i know who own them, love them.
