you’re a funny dude… talk about picking and choosing battles… lets compare the most base model lowest level porsche to your highest level golden child z06 ROFL!

how about a 996 gt2? don’t even worry about the 997’s.

whatever man… if chevy built the camaro as anything but a ‘muscle car’ then that woudl be their fault and not mine… I am simply reporting that, outside the car is ugly and inside tacky. Why does it come with 20" wheels? to daily drive get real dude… and I wans’t the one that brought my personal car into this… I was simply talking about the subject at hand… i think its been you folks that feel like dragging my cars into the conversation will help validate your internet arguing points.

I AutoX regularly with a HIGHLY BUILT 996 GT2. I hang with him, though I admit he gets me most of the time. But it’s a race-only car, gutted to the extent the rules allow, no compromise alignment etc. I can take getting beaten by a trailered race car when I drive to/from.

He (literally) has more into modifying and developing that car than I paid for mine. :shrug:

And who the hell can’t daily drive on 20"s? I DD’ed my Lexus on 19"s for a long, long time. And my sidewalls were shorter than those on the new Camaro (the overall tire height on the Camaro is pretty huge). I really don’t understand your argument here.

i know they are my opinion… which is why i’m surprised that so many dudes are salty about it. if, as TJ stated, the car’s intent was for a daily driver, does it really need brakes that don’t allow 18" wheels??? …no… it’s a sports car, which is why it comes with big brakes and huge wheels… which is why I feel that, for what it was produced for, it’s underpowered.

Some people DO care about performance in their DD. When you have 426HP (which I guess is now underpowered!!! :hahano: ) in a ~3800lbs car what is wrong with putting some big brakes on it? I can’t believe you’re going to say it’s not a viable DD because it has big brakes and 20"s. I daily drove my '99 Z/28 for most of the 5.5 years I owned it and the last 2 or 3 years I had Porsche 996 TT front brakes on it… I guess that meant it wasn’t really a DD.
