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

Have you ever driven any of the vehicles you just mentioned?
-In no way is any zed as refined as any Porsche or Ferrari.

Drive your z34 and jump into a similar model year 911TT.. You will NOT have the same performance, its just not happening.

LoL! Alex, if/when you come visit.. we will go for a tour of my friends shop.. He has pcars doing wheelies..
993> all.. only problem is that they are still $60k if you can find them.. and the interior is just to "dated" for me..
But I would still buy one if I could afford the up-keep.

+1, completely agree. I don't think a Z will ever be a supercar, my argument was that you could make it outperform some cars that are considered supercars.

People have different opinions sometimes.

Or just argue with each other over the same opinion

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?
