I've always been a corvette fan...awesome track car and it can autox too.

Great car to replace the S2000 with once I think I've gotten everything out of it....

I just which GM would do something about the interior...still looks fisher price to me.

I also like the Vipers - they look really cool imo.

Mark my words, there will be dead people.

That car just laughs at pretty much everything out today.

Carerra GT - HAHAHAHA you paid $700k for your car!
911 Turbo - HAHAHAHAHAH, just destroyed you.
F430 - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, see ya!

But its still a corvette. I love them too, but Id be hardpressed to own one. I also see about 10 C6s a day, ALREADY.

At some point power just becomes irrelevant. That point is somewhere around a Porsche turbo IMO. After that you need other things like driver interaction, style, or whatever else floats your boat. The problem with the Z06 is that, to me, it probably lacks everything but full forsake everything in the world, power and handling.

Like the look of the Vipers but i don't think i could live with the ride or reliability.

I've been contemplating one, but I'll hold off a few more years.

GM's depreciate quickly, and I don't like 1st year models, so waiting a while can only make one an even better purchase. I also need to improve my driving ability before stepping up to that much hp.

Maybe someday when the skies open up and start raining cash....
They do after all come in yellow.



I still think the car would look way cooler if the area inside the headlights were black and not body color...
