    Wow, the Porsche is definitely putting out some intense power from only 3.8 liters, but there is no replacement for displacement. I would still take the Z06 Vette with similar output and performance for less coin. Women cant tell the difference anyway. They will either see a Porsche or a Corvette so save your money Playboys.

    That car is some of the finest engineering in the world.
    But to me it sitll looks somewhat plain, for the price and the performance it delivers.
    I don't think the quality of the Corvette can compare, but the Corvette spanks it in value for performance, obviously. But if I had to pic a supercar, I think I'd have the F430, or California, maybe the Gallardo. Part of that price is the show, after all... :)

    noob, its a "horizontally-opposed" six, like this one here: http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-2000-2003/2003-Porsche-Boxster-Engine-Cutaway.jpg
    BMW is the company known for the inline 6 engines. Porsche - horizontally opposed, aka boxer engines.

    @ worldbfree4me
    I would disagree about the looks as well. In the picture sure it doesn't look so special, but I live in Germany and see Turbo's all the time, and they are easily better looking than a vette, and are easily recognizable as turbo's in person.

    It's personal taste, but I think the Vette looks better. The 911 is very German (which I am, and speak) and as such very "understated" and "Purposeful" - which is the German way. A car buff can tell the 911 from the 911 Turbo S, but anyone can spot a Ferrari, or Vette for that matter...

    Horizontally opposed 6, flat 6, and boxer 6 are all ways of saying the exact same thing, so either one works.
    Those wheels look infinitely better than the old Turbo wheels. Those things were hideous.
