Probably due to the glorious canyon roads but the Corvette is an incredible machine, sounds wonderful, endless grip, responsive steering, and comfortable ride.\n\nIs the PDK a better transmission? Absolutely - but where the PDK is an A+ the 8A in the Vette is a solid B+ and left little to be desired 90% of the time. Does the Porsche have a more refined interior? Yes, but it's much more money. The sound is a toss up - there's something incredible about a NA flat 6 screaming to high RPMs with the sport exhuast, but then an American V8 has a gargle on downshifts that never gets old. Which looks better? Not a clear winner, I'm partial to Porsche but the C7 is a world class design.", "likes": 3, "timestamp": 1535032054, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 2462164, "authorName": "moosetwo", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/moosetwo/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Until recently I owned both a 911 and a C7 Z51 and alternated driving them.
