And even if so, they caught up damned quick against the pinnacle of GT sports cars (written with a smirk). The performance numbers are not that far off (technically speaking... a gnat's ass different); and the subjective feel of steering and brakes is just that, subjective. I get it, your a Porsche 911 guy, but consider the next best car on MT's list was the Shelby GT 350, a Mustang.
Nope, nope, nope. And some of the details in the article dont add up either. This 992 was underpowered and still beat it in every measurable way.

A vette will never be the better drivers car. Period.
