I would rather have the Porsche, but the Z06 will rape the 911 Turbo.
Z06 is on par with the GT3.

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
Why did this start to focus on the current Z06? LS9 Vette will rape a GT3 around a track, if GM did the car justice with the suspension. Sub-3000lb weight + 650bhp is gonna haul ***. GT2 maybe..

What the hell is all this braking and trap speed talk?
Regardless of what the trap speed is between both vehicles, the atom still accelerates faster. Who cares what it traps? "you might have been faster, but I had a higher trap speed! I R TEH WIN" Braking? Since when was that a major factor in car buying decisions? Vette might brake quick, but I really doubt it brakes faster than a car as light as the atom that obviously gets better traction (check 0-60 and strip runs).
I don't understand why you can't just admit the atom performs better overall? It's been established the vette is a better choice if you're looking for a car, but if you're looking for straight up fun, the atom wins.
The southern baptist metaphor was great.

the atom is a 50k+ buggy that is slow for a buggy
