Do you have proof the Z06 rapes it, or is that just heresay, like usual?

Either way the 911 is at least a thousand times sexier than the Z06, and isn't built like sh!t. I still love the video of the Z06 owner getting his ass handed to him by a wrx in a drag race.

0-60 in 3.3 seconds for the Z06.

that was no stock WRX, and that was no C6 ZO6

While I LOVE the Z06...the numbers really don't matter. None of us here can run the difference between 3.3 and 3.6. Furthermore, it'd be much easier for most people here to hook up a 400+ HP AWD car than a 500+ RW drive car. That 3.3 is optimal conditions and after several runs. If you put both cars side by side on the road and run them...you wouldn't see rape.

Plus, it's a Porsche. As nice as the Z06 is..it's no damn Porsche. That 911 Turbo just oozes coolness and sex!

Speaking of 911 Turbo's, a friend (X) of a friend (Y) is a very rich doctor with very rich relatives...apparently one of his brothers was a dumbass and couldn't handle his 911 Turbo (2003 model I think he said), so they got it fixed up and gave it to X. X already owns a Turbo Cayenne and an RS6 and is very generous. He let Y borrow it for the weekend! I was working so I couldn't visit, but he said that I could get a ride when I have the time.

I'm going to bring diapers.

and yes, that anecdote was horribly written.

You're right it wasn't a stock WRX but it was a stock C5 Z06.
I'd be willing to bet that modified WRX would still beat the stock C6 Z06. The modified WRX destroyed the Z06, and I know the new Z06 wouldn't make much of a difference. Point is that a little itty bitty 4cyl import spanked the pinnacle of American sports car, that's embarassing.

You're still basing your opinion off of numbers on paper, which everyone knows means very little.
I would still bet my bottom dollar on the new 911 over the new Z06. Porsche is still a vastly superior manufacturer and car. Anyone who says they would rather roll around in a vette over a 911 is nickle and diming themselves. Don't get me wrong, I love the new vette, but it I had a choice I would always take the porsche, as would the vast majority of people.

and i could smoke that WRX with a GTO, or an old 5.0, or an old station wagon if i were to mod it... modded vs stock is NOT a fair comparison EVER.

The new Z06 seemed like a bargain at first, but all the issues arising on the user forums, plus the infamous GM build quality have now brought it back to reality. The fact is, a Ferrari F430, a Porsche 911 Turbo or a Lamborghini Gallardo would be a better car, and for all practical purposes, just as fast or faster than a Z06, and way more driveable.

And a 911 Turbo would walk a C6 Z06 at highway speeds. Although it appears that the gearing would leave the Z06 with a top speed advantage. Too bad, you'd think Porsche would just go ahead and build a 200mph 911 Turbo by now. They could if they wanted to.

Honestly, it may not. Heck, a bone stock BMW M5 will walk a 996 Turbo. In fact, it'll stay virtually neck and neck with a 996 Turbo X50 with 510HP Techart Package. The C6 Z06 has even more pull at high speeds.
