The Mistake of Buying a Porsche 911 Instead of a C6 Corvette Z06 

I just sold my 2013 427 convertible. A car very similar to the Z06. You have to mention the LS7 potential issues which are possible and as they no longer make LS7s your SOL if it blows up. The issues are valve guides and crank bearings. The corvette interior is not anything of quality, chevy put the money into the chassis and the motor. I also have a 991.1 manual carrera S. Car is plenty quick and personally my car is a stripper no sunroof not much power anything so it's as light as it can be. I also have a 87 3.2 carrera. Build quality is much higher in the porsches. I sold both my Ferraris a 308QV & BB512i, last year, one of my 98 BMW M roadsters and the Vette. I actually found the corvette owners to be more of folks who like to say exactly what you have said all the clichés snotty ferrari and porsche owners. Saying things like my car will run circles around yours ect. I know alot of people who own many cars and they are really nice folks. There are great folks who own cars and then there are idiots who own cars. I had 2 Honda accords for DDs and I service my own cars so I don't care what you drive but how how act. Snobs come in all kinds of forms. I will say the more moder corvettes are good bang for your buck performance. Anyway, make some sacrifices and go get the car you really want. For me its about getting the car you want, not settling for the car you can afford. They make tons of them and they are on every street corner where I live. The same is happening with C8s. Lastly never make predictions on car prices, no one knows and buying a car hoping it will be worth more is stupid and a very bad idea. Buy a car to enjoy it and if its worth anything close to what you paid when you sell it you got a grand slam.

Love Josh van Veld's channel! Cool when I follow one underrated channel that calls out another great underrated channel. 👍

That vette sounds like a BEAST ! 911 is classier, better interior, and I'd have to say the handling is superior to the Corvette. BUT... The Corvette is a legend, and the look and feel are timeless.. Bottom Line: Two car garage,I want them both...

I'm 6 foot 5...aaand I Love the sound of the LS!

Another issue with 911's is that they're EVERYWHERE. Here in Canada, i see more GT3'S than c6 and c7 z06's combined. Sadly, a good portion of porsche's current popularity is solely based on those who desire to be trendy as opposed to unique

Great choices either way! And they both can blow up! 😂

C6 Z06 will be cheaper, easier to maintain and you can work on it yourself. The Porsche will have a nicer interior and more panache. The Vette sounds better and it handles better than you would think. The Porsche is a result of its racing heritage and no slouch. The Vette will be cheaper to modify and the sky is the limit for horsepower. The Porsche will hold its value better. Both have issues that affect reliability.

Great video 👍🖐

Weird comparison… 2 different cars trying to accomplish 2 different experiences. You barley talked about the car’s performance and ability. You just mainly focused on how the corvette is cheaper…it’s cheaper for a reason. I’ve spent a good amount of seat time in both a c8 and 911 s. I enjoy the 911 more almost every time. Next time talk more about the machines then the price! I love the zo6 as well no hate just a critique!

I had, no shit, three S2000's and my current car is a C7 GS. Lmao! The only current car I even consider buying is a Civic Si or Type R, for different reasons. Great job, young man!

If I had the money, I'd get both! But for every day where I live, it would be the 911. But the money they cost, not what I want to pay. FK8 is still doing me good, no need for a 911 or Z06 really. Peace Elias. 👍💪✌

For me, i only want the Porsche GT models even though i only have C5 Z06 money😢😢

I have a c4 1986 corvette I love I am original owner am modifying it too bring it up to 600 horse power will be great for me but I also bought a 2023 porsche 911 turbo s the most amazing performance car I ever drove wide body beautiful so fun thats what its all about the corvette is all American but plastic im sorry love corvette but not porsche engineering

C6z is way better than a 911 and much easier to mod and do it yourself type maintenance anddddd it’s faster.

Why did this show up in my feed? Anyways bad take...two very different cars. Can't really understand why even try to put them against each other.

nothing to compare, everyone can see it, all your issue are about money, but if we are talking about cars, there is no comparation, There is a reason why those chevys are cheap, and everyone know about the reliability of chevy, good luck my friend

It’s not about speed in a line…

Watching your phone bounce around while you drive says almost everything. Comfort, ride quality, build quality, interior plastics, and most importantly if you’re talking about the money equation, resale value. You didn’t mention any of it. The difference between when you buy it and you sell it is your true cost. The Z06 is a great Corvette, buts it’s still a GM. The timeless argument also is now gone since it’s a completely different car with the C8: It seems like you’re trying to justify your purchase and coping.
