we all know the sports car world, manufacturers and more than a few enthusiasts all look to the 911 as the standard sports car to beat. while i don't necc. agree, i'd also say chevy is eyeing the 911 as the car the corvette needs to beat. corvette is a contender to be a 911 beater and i think especially, the new corvette will be.
