    A Z06 has a bigger, more workable trunk vs. GT3

    GT3 has the better stigma IMO.

    IMO, the GT3 has a better interior.

        Then I have made my choice up above.

        Have fun with your GT3!

            The Z06 isn't that easy to get either. Only found one locally by browsing:

            http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...AdIdZ450566987

            How SD Suzuki ended up with a Z06 and that Porsche is beyond me.

                        Lap times don't mean anything as we have racecars for that kind of stuff.

                            i would lean towards the porsche, is a 2006+ too much out of the price range? 2004-2005 have the nasty headlights.
                            does he want an auto or the manual?

                            corvettes are a dime a dozen in alberta it seems, before i moved here from central BC, when i saw a corvette i was so amazed, now its just another car. But when i see a porsche i still get that feeling of a little kid seeing the car that used to be on his walls growing up in real life and all i can do is stare and wonder what body parts i can sell on the black market to afford one.lol.

                              Go GT3, has the same motor as the GT2 and Turbo just N/A, so forged internals and no IMS issues. Plus it is just awesome.
