MPH makes me sick
Did you gets check out th new issues of MPH magazine?? They compare a 2005 vette against a 2005 Porsche. After many tests the vette seems better but they still brag more about the Porsche and they give it the edge over the Vette. Thats insane!!! they also said that the girls prefer the Porsche over the Vette. The Vette was truly the better choice, but they just cant beleive the true. They are so biased against the vette that it makes me sick!!!!!

The reason why Porsche may have won in the comparison is due to the fact that Porsche may have purchased more advertising than Chevy did.

I met my wife when I drove a beat to hell VW Golf. The kind of car you drive should have nothing to do with the woman who's company you enjoy.

Adam, who cares? That mag. said one thing, others (e.g. C&D) have said otherwise. It's all very subjective, and whatever the buyer wants to pay for is all that counts. The fact they're even being compared given the difference in price is amazing.

Nothing wrong with the Porsche. It may be the best sports car ever. It may not be as fast but it handles like a dream. With the better fit and finish, superior shifter and very nice interior, it is my next car.
That said, the new C6 has much improved headlights and good HP increase over the C5. It may be the best value for our money but not really better than the newest Porsche.
I have modded my C5 to the point that it has way more HP than I can really use due to the LAW and traction. It has been a very reliable car and will not sell it. The new C6 while it has many improvements over the C6, none really do much for me as I have posted in the past.
After driving both new cars, the Porsche just "does it for me". However it will cost way more dough and that is why for the money the C6 wins hands down. But at my age, I say the hell with the cash, get what rings my bell.
