RE: 911 or gtv6

PERFORMANCE:
A stock GTV6 has 0-60mph times of about 8.2 seconds. Compare that to the 911
and I think you will see that most 911's over nearly every year made have
0-60 times around or under the 6-second mark.

Here's a site with good 0-60 times for just about all cars (sorry no Alfa):

STYLING:
All in the eye of the beholder. I personally like them both.

import car go faaaast.

Ciao!
I have an interesting question for those of you fellow alfisti that can
relate;

I recently bought a gtv6 that is in need of much repair, (but still runs!)
for about $1000. I bought this car for my wife so that she could , one day
share in the sheer pleasure that I have driving my spider around. I know
that the two are completely different beast's but I enjoy the one just as
much as the other. Her dream car is a 911 Porsche with a whale tail , but
she also saw a gtv6 in Switzerland a few years back that she thought was
really cool. I am at the point of putting several thousands of dollars into
this baby and I need to convince her that this will outdo a 911 in looks and
performance . I of course, am very biased and where could I possibly find a
running 911 for $1000? So , considering my limited budget and all other
things considered, was this statement a complete untruth or could a properly
revitalized gtv6 outrun and out look a 911? I welcome all of your equally
biased opinions (just kidding).
Thanks,
Pat
Dallas
