Scanning Porsche's website ... if they wanted to do a dollar-for-dollar comparision, they would probably have gone with a 911 Carrera GTS. It starts within about 5% of the MSRP of the ZR1. Wouldn't that have been the logical choice to do a price based comparison between a ZR1 and a 911?
HeHasReturned is nothing but a contrarian. After seeing his posts in several threads it's clear he is here to be argumentative and nothing more. Perhaps the volkswagen forums sent him to us in jest

I'm curious to know what the standing mile would have been in the 911. I would think the AWD would start to hinder performance at the high end.
