Do I love my Vette? Yes, I still think it is a bargain of a sports car whether you are talking base, Z51,GS, Z06 or ZR-1. It provides a ton of sports car value for the money but there are many sports car attributes that competitive cars have that I think can and do justify their price tags......

I did one of these a few years back. It's a great little event they do, you do a lap in each of 4 cars around the track in a follow the leader type setting. You dont push the cars, but you do get to have a bit of fun. You drive base and s versions of the Cayman and 911. They also do a little autocross course with the panamera.
Its a fun time. The most impressive part for me was these cars are getting run with ac on full blast in the hot sun for the entire day, and all of them stayed cool. We did ours at Homestead and it was about 90000 degrees out that day.

Why not if it is free and you have time. It reads as a nice motoring event and I suppose what they are really trying to do is sell you the Porsche "experience".
Look at it this way...how much would it cost you if you wanted to rent that experience... 1K 2K...?

Someone has to have at least 400k to plunk down to get into a GT2 RS, probably even more as they are very scarce right now.
But for the money yes the Z06 is great performance/$ bargain. But Porsche is good cars too, they are not just about pure power/weight, also interior and the feel of the car. Take up the offer and experience it, you never know how you will change your mind...

Just think of all the car enthusiasts you can wow with your story about have much off MSRP you got on your Vette...

1.5 months ago in mid-August I bought a 2012 Porsche 911 Turbo S. Simply stated the car is nothing short of incredible and the P Car will sell itself to you once you drive it! Trust me.

From some1 who has had several ZO6's (2017 ZO7 most recent), Porsche delivers a car with an incredible driver experience (current GT3/see avatar). Lap times done by pro's are somewhat of a measurement of the cars performance-true, but in most cases with most guys are absolutely meaningless. Stop setting yourself up to be disappointed and just go with an objective outlook and enjoy.

That's great guys who bought Porsche love them. I hope anybody who buys any expensive car loves them. My brother loves Porsche and that's what he bought. I never liked the look of Porsche and that's why I ordered a Vette. Porsche make awesome cars but we all have different opinions and preferences. This is a Corvette forum so there will be lots of Corvette bias. I'm sure if any guys here want a Porsche they can go to a Porsche dealer and check them out.
