What is the most economical way to travel to Germany and buy a new Porsche GT3?
I would like to travel to Germany and buy a Porsche GT3 and drive on the autobhan then ship the car back to the states to drive here. What is the cheapest way to do this?
The criteria you have is going to make it difficult to cut costs. The car itself will need to be ordered from a US Dealer with the European Delivery option. You could plan to buy a car in Europe, but while you could save on the actual purchase price due to exchange rates and different pricing in some locales, you would far exceed this in trying to get your Euro car approved for us in the US. So, on the car side, you need to order a new car from a dealer and there will not be any options to really save money here.
Which means the primary spot where you could try and save would be on the travel expenses of getting yourself to and from Europe. The most likely route here would be to place the order for the GT3, and then shop around for the best travel prices and hotel prices for the period you'll be in Europe to pick up the car. No real secret, just compare and buy as early as possible.
Though, you could take a gamble... if you were to wait until the last minute to book, you may luck into some very inexpensive options (if you sign up with any airlines to get notice of last minute specials, you'll see European destinations and travel/hotel packages are common, if you can leave within a few days notice - often due to underbooked packages that they are now trying to fill up to make the most of their investment). But this is a gamble since you will not have much flexibility in getting the car. So if you were to gamble on this, you could save alot, but it would also be possible that you would instead pay alot more to secure a last minute fare (or worse, simply not be able to find an option for the time you need).
In the end, the difference between "cheap" and "normal" would come out to as much as one to two thousand dollars... which is not small, unless you consider that you are talking about $110K+ for the car, and a few thousand more per person in travel... and if you are going that far you will probably enjoy the whole experience more if you let loose with the purse strings and spend a little extra to make it a nice vacation.

Should I get a used Porsche GT3 or a new Corvette Z06?
I have access to a mint condition black GT3 with 5,000 miles for under $90k. Alternatively, for around $60k I can acquire a Z06. In terms of performance and quality, which should I get? I am used to driving small sports cars, so certain comforts are not important to me. I'm inclined to go for the GT3, but it is not a special edition. The Z06 impresses me, and the price difference is a factor as well. Which should I get?
The Vette will cost less in the short AND long run (maint. & repairs). Plus, if you're buying a new GM, you're getting a 100K warranty! They both tear up the tarmac, but the Porsche shows how much you make and the Vette shows how much you KNOW! Either way, invest in a radar detector before hitting the streets!

What's the best car on the circuit in the GT2 class & why? The Porsche 997 GT3 RSR or the Ferrari 430.?
The RSR. One of the cheapest to run GT2 class cars ever. Horribly reliable, wickedly fast, etc. Its had to be limited quite a few times (as was the 996 GT3 RSR) because it just was stomping on everything so hard. The 430 is fast, but its just not as reliable, much more expensive, and really not any faster.
