Thank you for answering the question. A TT/SC Z would be considered in the same league (performance wise) as Turbo 911's, Gtr's, Ferrari's etc. I'm sure we would all like to own those vehicles, but if I can have the same performance minus the $9k brake job, I'll take the Z every time

Actually I think you would need more things other than just the TT/SC kit to have the same overall performance. It may be in the same leage power wise or in a straight line race, but definitely not in handling or on a road course. For me, if I could afford a supercar I would definitely take one over a Z. In fact, I'm only keeping the Z until I can afford one :icon17:

Yeah. Once the z is on the true performance level, you're looking at similar expensive service items.

Most of what makes a Supercar is Status. Some perform better than others. I have no idea how many different supercars there are out there, but the ones that I do know of are hand built (to an exent)...........

And if I have to have carbon-ceramic brakes and paddle shifters to have a supercar, you can keep it. There are only 4 supercars that I would consider. Viper ACR, F430 Challenge (maybe the 458 Italia), Corvette ZR1, and Aston Martin DBS in that order.

Im just wondering, is the Porsche 911 turbo/GT2RS count as super car?

It's usually paired against the Gtr, ZR1, Ferrari, and Lambos. Bugatti, Mclaren, and Pagani are in another class because of their price.

What's wrong with carbon brakes?

Econ 07-07-2011 08:20 AM

they make you stop too fast.

Meh, it's worth it for the performance. Who's worrying about that on a $300k + car anyways?
