Melissa came in as I was looking at this and was like 'oh, h*&^ no - you're not going to do that' and then she saw the price and said 'nevermind, you'd NEVER spend that much money on ANYthing'. hehehe Guilty as charged... LOL

There really isn't a better deal when it comes to cars like this. As much as I'd prefer a return to a ten-inch-shorter C4 wheelbase, there's really something to be said for a car with ~650hp. Smile

It *is* a bit tricky to fit a C6 through a tight corner quickly. It's also tough to get past the legacy of bald guys with huge medallions and half-unbuttoned shirts. Doing so rewards one with a genuinely amazing car.

I'm looking at the ashtray my grandfather got when taking delivery at the St. Louis plant in '65. I wish that car was still in the family. (and the '64 Lotus Seven, and the '66 Mustang Convertible, and the '67 356B and the '69 Cessna 182 and the...........)

I worked for a Corvette school that had 4 ZR1's and a bunch of Z06's and I have to say they are some of the most impressive street cars I've ever driven. Unlike most "sports cars" they are actually very well balanced and don't have too much understeer. In fact there were a few of the schools cars that were so well balanced you could drive them the same way you would drive a proper race car. Needless to say I'm a big Corvette fan after driving them.
