How's that? The previous ZO6 had 505hp and this one will have no less then 625hp.

Why the need for the extra 120hp? Not sure this can compete on the track with a Porsche that has 400hp. Unless you drive this on the track, why all the horsepower? These are a ticket and accident magnet. Needless to say a $100,000 Chevy, whoa.

That is probably one of the single most vague statements I've read in at least a day here on EVGA forums. So you don't even give us a hint as to what Porsche you're talking about that has 400hp, but you already don't believe that the 2015 Z06 can compete against "it", whatever "it" is. That deserves a forehead slap. And why not the extra horsepower? Why should a high horsepower car be relegated to just racing on a track? If all that matters in a car is practical road use, why have 300HP? 200HP even? By extending that logic, we should all be driving Prius' that are electronically limited to the speed limit only.

Where else can you drive it? A 911 base has around 400hp (I was wrong, 350hp) and is a beast on the track. Heck an old 928 would be better than some monster gas guzzling 600hp car that you can barely get out of 2nd gear around town. Anyway, like what you want and buy what you want. It is all opinion. You have yours I have mine. You seem to express your more often. Show me the picture if yours and then your opinion will matter.

This is in response to your last reply stating the "Mustang Cobra and the Corvette are horrible on the track", which is a load of BS. It doesn't help the rest of your argument if your facts are just plain wrong (and obviously extremely biased).

Here is another ranking.

Seems it is opinion, tie 50/50.  Funny thing about opinion is we all have one.  Seems Motor Trend liked the 911 better, finalist for Car of Year.  Also seems the value rating is much different.  Not buying this for value but I would like to more than 40% of value left in a car that cost me $100,000.  Porsche leads the way in that respect, based on the name.  You may want this thing parked in your driveway, not me.  I do not like cheap interior materials, bad production runs, recalls or Government Motors name.  There is a reason Porsche is one of the most profitable companies in the world.  If the products GM produced were half as good, there would have never needed a bailout.  I have more respect for Ford, as they did not need or want a bailout.  There would be no 2014 Corvette with tax payer backing.  Next you'll say, they paid us back.  Nice, but when are you going to pay the union trust fund back?  Comparing the product of a highly successful engineering company form Germany to GM is almost laughable.  But then again I could be wrong, it is only my opinion.

Yep, ford put up their entire company all the way down to the little blue ford symbol that goes on their cars to get that loan then paid it back and handled their business unlike GM.

Actually it was to Ford's good luck of failing before the banking system meltdown. They were able to acquired that loan along with you guess it $5.9 billion in low-cost Government loans in 2009 to overhaul its factories and bring out more fuel-efficient technology. They also got Congress authorized taxpayer money to fund a $25 billion Energy Department program during a moment of crisis for the industry. GM and Chrysler on the other hand stuck it out too long and getting loans at the amount needed wasn't going to happen in the privet sector because of the banking bail outs that had already been done. It was bad time for the Big 3 American auto companies and luckily they all 3 survived and are doing exceptional well right now. I hope to see all 3 of them prosper.
