The Z06 Corvette not only outperformed the Porsche 911 on the skid pad, but it’s actually smaller (no, really, it is!). The ‘Vette not only outperforms the 911, it does it for half the price.

That Pontiac G8 is a giant killer, too. A buddy of mine tried out the GT edition and said it screams. So, of course, Pontiac gets the axe.[/quote]

To be fair, Z06 Corvette costs about the same as basic 911. And it’s not smaller. ’09 Z06 is 176 x 76 in, ’09 911 is 176 x 71 in. They weigh about the same. However, Z06 has 50% more horsepower.

Pontiac G8 is in interesting vehicle but it’s just way too heavy. 3300 lb 335i with a basic $1000 ECU upgrade would hold its own in a straight line against stock Corvette (non-Z06) and leave 4000+ lb G8 GXP in the dust.
