Thought you would like to read a recent article in US where Z06 beats 997 GT3. Happy with that as I'm looking forward to a new C6 Z06 been delivered to me in March, can't wait. Also posted in Porsche forum, expect to see usual flak about LHD, cheap interior etc. Min d you I do like the look of those new GT3's.

That looks like a fantastic article - I'll have to digest it fully later. As an Exige S owner I think coming third after the Z06 and 997 GT3 is pretty acceptable! 
Overall, that review looks like my wish-list of cars I would like to own. I'm sure the Superformance is a bit outdated to drive compared to some of the more modern machinery but it is absolutely bloomin gorgeous all the same!

Good article!
"We were so surprised by the Z06’s friendly handling that we contacted Tadge Juechter, the vehicle chief engineer for the Corvette, and he told us that, for 2007, the Z06’s shock-damping rates have been trimmed back a little since Jan Magnussen’s epic seven-minute, 43-second lap of the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife, making the car less jumpy at the limit. Bottom line, says Juechter: The car has gotten better."
Does it apply to the 2007 cars bought here in the UK as well?
