For the money the Vette is a better buy IMO (it is around 25k less). You are comparing the Vette to the base model 911. The Carrera is the slowest 911, its a 910 & 1/2 :wink:. So dont be confused about the other 911 models, cause they will leave a Vette. But they also cost twice as much. Even though the Vette did better in the 0 to 60,100, & 150mph stats. The Porsche's winning margin in the 30-50mph & 50-70mph tests was very large, and the winning margin for braking was large also. The Porche also was rated better in handling. Plus a car with a $75,000 price tag does have fine things that the Vette wouldnt. But after saying all that, if I was on a budget and wanted a sports car. I would not get the Carrera. But never under estimate a Porsche.
