That's why they compare the 911 Turbo to the GTR, and the Z06/ZR1 to Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Porsche. Does value matter to people that are looking at buying one? Yes. To Average Joe's and keyboard commandos, price only matters for the sake of an argument. If someone is looking at a 911S, most of the time they are not cross shopping a Corvette, of any kind. Different driving experience, different type of car, and totally different market segments. The GT-R was supposed to slay the 911 Turbo, and it a lot of performance tests it did. Do you know how much market share it took from the 911 Turbo? Exactly 0%. GT-R got released, and 911 numbers still went up that year, and the following year, and last year, and they are up again this year.

First of all I didnt mention Vette until the other guy did. Second, its ludicris to compare two performance cars that have a vast difference in price. Case in point this thread. How about we start compairing Lambos to SS's now. Both cars are a performance car right? We dont race with our wallets and the cost of the car in comparison does not matter right? Third, the target model that GM puts in its sights for the Corvette to beat in every aspect of performace is in fact the Porsche and it did just that model for model.
Performance is the only thing that matters in compairing two cars against each other in a PERFORMANCE TEST? Really, well in that case the Porsche is the Corvette's and GTR's little bitch.
