Corvette Z06 battles Porsche GT3 on track, with a catch

A Corvette Z06 and a Porsche 911 GT3 meet at Fontana to fight it out. But with one caveat: the Z06 and the GT3 drivers have a vast difference of experience.

Before hopping in the 2015 Corvette Z06, the driver had only done two track days. He is also driving with an instructor—smart move.

But the GT3 is helmed by a professional race car driver, who begins in the lead. The view from the Corvette’s Performance Data Recorder tells us a compelling story: that with a bit of instruction and a car that inspires confidence, great things can happen, like stunning upsets.
