If I was going to spend this kind of money on a car it wouldn't be either the new Vette or the Porsche.

This on the other hand, would get my attention...

no imagination, just cookie cutter engineers that like to mimic asian or italian designs IMO, computers vs old school design engineers....such is technology and progress, to each their own. I own 67, 70 and 03zo6 and each has its own charm and appeal, hate c7 but like c6z. do love this forum...

The 911 is a great car but given the choice between a C-7 and a 911 I would pick the Vette. Back in the mid 80s I did two 911 to 930 conversions for a couple of customers. One was a coupe the other a convertible and I painted them both porsche red. That was a very popular conversion for the 911 back then. Now if the choice were the 930 or the Vette then it would be the 930 for sure.
I don't have any pictures of them but I grabbed this one off the net.
