    porsche vs corvette

    hi
    i'm relatively new to cars.


    isn't it hard to digest spending the cost of a porsche 911 turbo when a
    corvette has similar performance specs at 2/3 it's cost?


    whar do you guys makes of this...

    Don't know what years/model you are comparing but in general they are
    completely different cars in build quality and they way they perform.
    Spec "numbers" mean nothing.

    It's what makes the world go 'round.

    Why would anyone own a Rolex when he could get a Casio that kept better time
    and cost about what it costs to ship a Rolex home for service. And no one
    would be inclined to hit him over the head to steal it.

    So why would anyone buy either a Corvette or a Porsche (note
    capitalizations) when a Corolla would get him there just as well with body
    and operator's permit intact, and no one would be inclined to hit him over
    the head to steal it.

    Beats me.

    There is an old adage that still holds true...

    You get what you pay for.

    I think the reason the Porsches cost so much is because they are made
    by Bavarian elfs and I hear they have a strong union. And besides, I
    think the Corvettes have more plastic in them.

    They do have more plastic and carbon fiber, from what I've read. Whats
    is the GT Carrerra made from? More simailar than not from the c6 z06
    perhaps.

    I'll go for Allen Edmonds over Gucci anyday. Not the most expensive.
    Quality and performance is what counts

    That Z-06 with the Bilstein suspension package, the Bosch fuel injection and
    the 928 inspired transaxle?

    I hear they want to replace the checkered flag on the Corvette emblem with
    the German national flag!

    > Quality <

    Well then I guess that rules out the Chevy!

    Say, anybody heard lately how they are doing financially?
    Think they have any job openings at some of the plants?
