I voted for the z06. WAAAAAAAY better as a daily driver than the viper, which seems to be the only competition other than the gt3 for sheer performance around a track stock for the z06. Its also VERY reliable in comparison to the other cars listed. I have a friend that beats the **** out of his vette (oil changes every 10-12 thousand miles. Drives back and forth between austin and LA 4 times a year on that oil going 150 mph most of the way etc...), and his car has just now, after 6 years of being treated like this, started giving him minor problems.

I forgot about the Z06. It is definately a sweet car. Great value, well-established modification paths, and classic looks to boot. I would still go with a viper though, simply because it is rarer. Sure, you don't see Z06s very often, but you do see vettes all the time. Vipers you see a good deal less often. Plus, I think the new Vipers are absolutely stunning. Sure, the old ones looked a bit like a cartoon car, but the new ones look much better. Now where is our new Viper GTS...

I would go with the Euro Porsche GT3 because of the weight advantage it has on these other cars. Also, it's handling is great and the sound of a high revving boxer engine would be 
.
I would order mine with no frills... just carbon buckets and rollbar for me please.

I had a NSX for 5 years and you get about the same thing. If you are looking for looks YES they are the PERFECT car for you, but like AL if you want to CRUSH your friends 996TT with under 10k in mods the evo is for you. Hell I have a friend who sold his F355 to get a mustang because he got tired of getting trashed by hondas and other cars. So don't talk smack unless you have a clue

None of the above. I would build GT40 or 427 Shelby Cobra Kit Car. Since originals go for 500,000 and up, with 100 grand you could build one bad *** copy.

Okay lets cut through the BS, Post a pic of your 996TT, how about with you in it flicking me off? I know what the answer to this is going to be, ummm I can't don't have a camera, or ummm I don't know how to host a pic. lol

i do have a clue. i also have a 996tt that i drive daily. it's not keyed. maybe that's why i like it over f cars, it's low profile. i don't know any owner of f car that had problem w/ vandalism. maybe your friend should move to richer neighborhood where f cars are no big deal. if his modena is getting keyed why did he buy two? i'm beginning to suspect that you never even drove the f cars. why? no one who knows f car will call a modena an f360. they dropped the f w/ f355.
i'm talking smack if i tell you to respect other cars??? Evo is GOOD, but so is z06, viper, f car, p car, lambo, whatever. how silly is that if you can't buy a car you want because you are scare of other people vandalizing your car?
i doubt al will crush even a stock viper on 91 pump gas here in ca. he needs 118 octane w/ co2 spaying his intercooler or something. and he definitely won't crush any of 996tt. you have realize that drag racing is not the only form of racing. i've done honest 187mph(i know factory claimed 190) on my way to vegas, what can al or you do on your evo that will "CRUSH" me? 165mph? thought so. oh yeah, 10k in mod will push me over 200mph just for your info.
what will your car do? don't give me, "my friend w/ 360 let me drove it" or "al will crush you." what will you do? i know steph papadakis will do 8sec in his honda. so what??? good for you that you have so many friends, but what does your evo run that makes you "have a clue" on high performance?
lastly, f cars are not just for performance. f355 being smoked by mustang is more beautiful sight than the winning mustang in my opinion. i mean do you think all the sl500 owners are stupid just cuz you can smoke them w/ a stock evo??? you should get a clue about world outside of 1/4mile. what are you vin diesel or something? leaving your life 1/4 mile at a time?
sorry other innocent Evo owners if i offended you. didn't mean to come off as a punk. i still like Evo very much, but i felt that i had to defend myself against comments like these.

I never said it was keyed I am just saying the people see a car like that, get jellous and key it. Also I knew you did not have the Car. I will get a pic of Ken's car as soon as I can, he works for Checkpoint and is out of town a lot. Also I want to see you 996tt 1st lol. hehehe too funny man I knew you never had it.

i will for you, if and only if you also go thru the trouble of doing the same in your friend's ride. i don't feel that i'm the only one who needs to prove it. I didn't say my "998tt" if I did, you could call BS on me too. oh, make sure you get thoses scratches on it too.
In fact, I don't have a digi camera. But I did take some Pictures from when I first got the car w/ someone elses. No, I'm not gonna be flipping you off in it. And don't give me this, "you have a p car and no camera" Yes, it's true. I'm not into digicams. I will soon buy one, but honestly so far no.
But I would like to end the flame war. I still think you would bring something intersting to this forum as you have different opinion than me. If we all thought the same, this place will be boring. So, Truce, okay?
I will still try to post my pic. I don't know where you are but I'm afraid you may "key" some other black p car thinking it's me. That would be terrible for him or even worse if it IS me. So, we truce first. and cut this BS like we are two fine gentlemen. Stop the personal insults and both post some pics. How's that?
