Can anyone here on the team attest to this mans claims?

I went from 99 996 to a 2008 Z06 - no contest!
The Z06 runs rings around my old 996.
I also switched out the seats with Recaro GT3 seats and replaced a lot of key interior parts with nicer leather.

I couldn't care less about anything anyone from Motor Trend has to say, and this is why.

It's the worst car of the entire year because "it doesn't feel special?" Give me a break.

Has anyone else heard of rumors of a major delay for the C7 coming out? Hopefully the rumors are not true.
