I think it is an amazing car!!!!
One day I will own a 997 Porsche!

One day I will own a 997 Porsche!At least a Z06 is somewhat realistic and attainable. I'm pretty sure I could never afford a 911 Turbo or Ruf in the future, but the Z06 is a different story.
And a Z06 vs. a standard 911 or even 911S wouldn't even be close.

The 650 bhp 3.8 liter engine is of a new construction, which sets a new benchmark in performance and torque.

Beyond that, who knows? It's not like you're ever going to see a Z06 or a 911 turbo picking up a race at 150MPH. With a 911 modded to cost $120K and a Vette modded to cost $120K, I would go with the Vette.
If snob appeal prevents people from giving the nod to the Z06 when compared with a lesser Porsche like a 911 or 911s, well, that's sad.

And performance (sports cars) are all about numbers. What else is there?

For the record, I agree that the Z06 is the better bang for the buck performance car. I never said otherwise.
The fact that you cannot seem to appreciate is the reality that not everyone thinks like you. Believe it or not, there are people out there that like other cars that you don't necessarily like. Very simple reality. More power to you for llking the Z06 better than a Porsche and more power to others that like other cars better than a Z06. It's all good. It's what makes the world turn around my friend!
If I bought a Z06 or a Porsche, it is highly unlikely that I will take either car to a track. Why? I don't have the time nor the requisite superior driving skills to appreciate either car in that environment. So track numbers will not sway the decision for me one way or another when comparing these two cars.
