Video: Motor Trend Pits Porsche’s GT3 Against Chevrolet’s Camaro Z28
Wait, Seriously? Let me read that title again. GT3, okay, that makes sense. Z28, yep, I read that right. Are they crazy? Does the Z28 really have any business going up against the GT3 in a one-on-one? The GT3 is an agile ninja to the Z28's bulldozer. This is a peregrine falcon versus an ostrich. This comparison is the age old scalpel versus …

For all of the decrying that was done when the 991 was announced ("It's got electric steering, the 911 is dead!"), it has certainly been heaped with praise by the media and the buying public alike.

A number of years ago Motor Trend started a contest that pitted some of the best sports cars in the world against each other to determine the "Best-Handling Car".
