A 997 turbo is a heavy, luxurious GT car totally positioned for street over track use. The ZO6, and I assume the GTR are each companies' ultimate track weapon. Use Porsche's as well.

Actually 3 Road & Track Writers I believe. No company had a test driver on site.

Also these were supposed to be top of lines for each manufacturer. One may argue with the choices (GT vs sports car), but if anything the Vette was closest to the sports car with only 2 seats. Both the GTR and the 997turbo were 2 + 2's.
