The Lotus is still quick though and does 0-60 in 4 seconds mainly due to the extremely light weight frame. I just don't get why more people don't buy Z06's and avoid Porsches if they want a track car. The Z06 handles better, brakes better, is MUCH quicker, is cheaper and people have gotten 900 plus HP without any engine/tranny reinforcements. Yea I'm considering getting a Fox body or a Camaro myself for the drag strip, rather than trying to build a WRX to do it all.
Would be nice to have a 250-280 HP WRX daily driver and a V8 drag strip car ; ).

The Z06 / 911 Turbo rivalry is one of the better rivalries since the middle generation STi vs EVO wars. The Vette is in fact the faster car... the problem is that the AWD of the Porsche makes it faster for all but the best drivers. AWD is a terrific mechanism for covering up poor driving skills... it also makes it harder to learn to drive *because* it covers up mistakes so well.
I'm scared to death of getting a light RWD track car and finding out I'm a shitty driver because I learned mostly behind the wheel of a WRX.
