glad i picked the Z in the end.
Ah, yeah, the Q7 and X5 are nice, but are too large for her taste. Even the Q5 was too big. She actually wants to look at the new Q3.

I think you chose right. I don't mean to but I think the Cayenne Turbo S is a complete waste of money. The thing costs six figured and weighs over 5k lbs. I don't see the appeal. It's a bad buy if you want a sports car because riding so high and weighing so much, it'll never be that sporty. And it would seem crazy to use it like a proper SUV, towing boats and driving through mud and brush. If I was going to spend that much and had the parking, I'd buy a Vette and some random SUV/truck. One for sport and one for hauling.

Geez! That's some crazy power, but I bet it still gets smoked around the track by a stock base Vette. Hell, the base Vette might even hold its own in the quarter mile with that beast. Lbs/HP is the ever critical number.

1/4 mile the AWD comes into play though. heavy/powerful car with a proper launch over a high power rwd car that has the chance of spinning and a poor launch

Yup, that's why I said might. Z06 would crush it, though.

Yeah, that C7 Z06 is a mean machine. I thought about really upping the budget and getting a base C7 in lieu of a 370. The C7's are so much nicer than the C6.
