  • On video: 911 GT2 vs Z06

    Mar 27, 2008 1:01 AM

    What’s the obvious thing to do with the new £131,000 911 GT2? Pit it against the £62,000 Corvette Z06, naturally.
    Chris Harris took the pair to a two-mile runway to find out if the GT2 really is twice the car, or if the Corvette’s 7.0-litre V8 makes it the ultimate giant slayer.

    Nice comparison!  Great to see a straight dog fight like that, especially side by side, so that you can see where the advantages were.  BTW, most people use the three horn signal for starting a race...

     I think something was up with the Z06 though.  Was that a press vehicle?  I have never heard anyone snatch 2nd repeatedly like Chris was doing.  Maybe it was a tired example.

     Anyway, it was good to see Porsche get a clear victory, after the GTR episode :-(  I still don't believe that the GTR is faster around a proper circuit than the 997 GT3 is, especially if you were to run at least 5-10 laps.  Consider this a challenge.
