Default RE: C6 Vette?

The only really good reason to get a Vette over a f-body or a Mustang, is the re-sale value.
Since i own a GT, roomate owns a Ws6, and other roomate own a z06 i think my opinion about this would be similar to 95LT1's..
If you had $60k sitting in your savings account, getting a z06 would defanitely be the right choice ..
get a 04 z06 for $50k .. drive it for 3 yrs (and trust me they are so much fun to drive) and sell for 38-37K ..
which means you only spent around $14K max. to drive a z06 for 3 yrs.... wow this sounds so tempting ...

I like the look but i would not want to own one. I am a mustang man and will drive one until the day that I die.

The z06, sadly, owns any mustang basically unless its s/c or has some stroking and camming. The c6 is only going to get better-they're improving the near perfect suspension and upping the hp a bit i think...
BUT, I can't afford a 50k+ car, nor woudl I ever spend that much on a car.... I still see the corvette as an automatic, rich white man car that thinks he needs the car to get some lovin'

Maybe If I had that gay image out of my head Id warm up a little to it, plus I lost hardcore to a z06 on the freeway this afternoon...

If you can afford a Vette, typically you're already well enough off to not have to worry about money. They're NOT at all unatainable. $50k for that much power and handling isn't that bad a price, considereing you are getting a collector car. You're right, the C6 is getting a 400hp LS2 engine. Should be fun, I can't wait to see the next ZO6.

Not to be an *** and do the typical "comparison" But I bought my car for 7k, put in roughly 4k and have over 400hp. But, im not bashing the vette, we all know deep down its a fast car and handles like crazy... and I'f I had one given to me, I'd glady accept it

Well I understand, that's all true. But hell, you can by a **** can for $500, put $5,000 worth of mods into it, have it run 11's. At the end of the day, all it's good for is ****ting in though. See my point.

Wow, that was quite possibly the dumbest thing ever. You must be very incoherant to not have comprehended any of my above post. We could do that all day. I paid 5700 for my LT1. With $50K to spend, it'd be a hella lot faster than ANY 302 or 281 EVER. But hey, that's not the point I'm trying to make.

And no, $6K in mods would NOT make any Stang faster AND handle better than a ZO6. You may be faster, but you won't handle as well, or vice versa.

I don't know why this is so HARD to comprehend. Maybe education has a lil to do with it?

Oh ya, I'm uneducated b/c I don't put a new engine in my car all bymyself....I guess that means pretty much every Priesident, religious figure, NASA techs, celebrities, Bill Gates, etc....are all dumb****s? Maybe I should just grow a mullet, buy a trailor and work on MY own cars....Basically you're a dumb**** retard who has no concept of the point I'm trying to prove. Please God, get an education before trying to argue with me. Basically, I'm going to bring you up to my level and beat you with intelligence.
