One of the best thing about this club is the variety of cars and the level of preparation that many have gone through to make the car meet their needs on the track. The Corvettes that run with us seldom miss run sessions due to mechanical issues, The LS series engines are very durable and have a very flat torque curve that is great for a road racing application.Typically the reliability of any car component is going to become apparent the more it is subjected to thermal and mechanical stresses. The material utilization in the Porsche product line has some advantage in many area over the Corvettes but you also pay a price premium for that. These stresses become greater the faster you go on the track. One system that the 911s always seem to have a leg up is the the performance and durability of their brake system. They are often more than sufficient with nothing more than fluid change different pads and some cooling even when the cars are driven very hard at the track. The vetted on the other hand have a brake system tha is good but when I see guys that are really rolling in vetted they usually have a completely different brake set up. But with the money saved you can afford to upgrade. The fact is they are both great cars I suggest driving as many cars as possible and getting rides in as many cars as possible at the track and see what you like best eith way you can't go wrong and any questions you have about either cars can be answered by fellow club members.
