If I had no life and in the market for cheap hardware to demolish the BMW and Porsche guys, my choice would certainly be the Z06 mainly because I can't stand AWD cars and the Z06 can be easily modded as the Nissan. If money was an issue the Chevy is the best bang for the buck.
If you are suggesting that the 997tt is 3800 lbs., you are 305 lbs. too heavy If you optioned it with the fabulous PCCB brakes then you could shave another 40 lbs. off. The 997tt is heavy, but it is no pig compared with any of the oher cars.
