Message	It is all benchracing, if someone will furnish a GTR, I'll back to back hotlap my Z06 with it at tracks here to furnish some data. I'm curious to see the results, but I think I know the outcome.... My original message was that I don't think the GTR gives enough value at a Z06 price which is closer to 80k. I felt that the headline mentioning it was at a Z06 price but only matched the 911 turbo was silly. I do believe the Z06 outperforms the 2 cars, I repeatedly seen Z06s rail 911 turbos (on a roadcourse). That is all. To me, it isn't actually a pissing contest of the Z06 to the GTR. I'm real happy with the Z06, and would never replace it with a GTR. My tastes have changed, I'm after different cars now....
