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]
That’s stock too…Plenty of ways to mod that beyond. Though, I think anything above 400hp for me, and I’ll end up wrapping it around a pole.
I’m preferring the G8 GXP because it’s the only thing GM has reasonably priced with a killer specs that can fit a child seat.
I’m coming to a sad realization as much as I like the Audi S5, it’s just overpriced for what it offers. It’s a 335 performance at an M3 or C63 price.
Well, I’m off car shopping via the internet to help stimulate the GDP. Wish me luck.

That LS engine is a monster w/ mods. you’ll never have enough HP. I though 300HP was enough before, but now, it feels slow, hehe.S5 is totally overpriced. However, there’s rumor that the future S4 will be priced similar to a 335i. They’re also axing all the 3.2L V6 Audi too.

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.
