It's been like this forever, though. There have always been cars marketed more for the sizzle than the steak. I just don't understand why they had to make it so huge and heavy. 3k lbs. is plenty heavy for a supposed sports car. Porsches have always been a little heavy in their respective classes but at least they have the excuse of building them like tanks.

What difference does it make, most of the people on this board wouldn't buy it regardless. The Z06 does everything better then a 996 or 997 and weights less and there are still people on this board that wouldn't be caught dead in one. because it's a Chevy. I guess I can kind of understand, I would never own a Hardly-Davidson.
