I see at least 3 corvettes a day, its absolutely rediculous.

 

unfortunately i see that many evo's a day ... i use to be special lol

but i do see about 20 vettes a day so i guess that is better

 

i am sure you know the pros and cons for both car, all the things they said, I am sure you know, such as evo is beter DD, blah.... you just have to think about it, personally i wont buy american made sports car

 

Man, so many things to comment on here. Let’s see…
The first part is an excellent question. The second, is horribly wrong. An ’02 (read OP again…) is not going to be faster and handle better than an ’06 IX, trust me from experience, an ’06 Z06 is a different story, but is MUCH better set-up than an ’02, not to mention the extra 100 hp. And any sports coupe will feel sportier than the Evo.

As to the commonality of the Corvette and the rarity of the Evo. Its reversed here: I see WAY more Evos than I do ‘vettes. Probably due to the weather conditions here.

Again, failure to read the OP: “The corvette is cheaper for me on insurance” Which, makes total sense, an ’06 C6 was cheaper for insurance for me than the Evo, and the Porsche is only 9 more a month than the Evo.

Lastly:
First: They have decent trunk space, but nothing like the Evo’s plus like you already said, the Evo has the extra seats.

While everything I removed was also a good point, I just wanna say #8 is a VERY good point, and should be a very important thing to consider.

IMO: If the weather never gets snowy where you’re at (I assume it doesn’t in Cali, but it might). I would get the ‘Vette hands down. As I've said on the other Vette/Evo threads: If it weren't for the snow here, I'd be in a red 2007 C6 right now. But I decided I wanted to live to see Christmas this year

 

Posting this pic never gets old.

 

zo6 if u wanna PWN! noobs on the high way

 

Evo

Save the Vette for your midlife crisis.

 

this is my 2 cents but i want something that fewer people have. if you drive for 6 blocks i gaurantee you will see more corvettes than EVO's. do what you heart says and your heart says "BUY A DAMN EVO LIKE A REAL MAN" Thats not me saying it its your heart......

 

Then he probably drove a stock C5. Sorry, a C5 Z06 outhandles a stock Evo.

 

In chico i never see any vettes but about 7-10 evos......all of the people who owns evos here are 16-22 years of age and are dip ****s.... I know alot of people with evos and have worked on alot of them myself......They are an amazing car......but the ZO6 just feels more at home for me.....i am an American muscle kinda guy..... Hell my 68 camaro has a 496 with 700+ hp. It is one hell of a car. I have always wanted an EVO.....hell i may even get them both i dont know..... I am married with no kids so 4 door/2 door doesn't matter to me.....my wife will never drive my cars... I do appreciate the opinions...keep them coming..... Maybe if i take an evo to the track over here at SCCA Thunderhill i may change my mind and get the EVO first....

 

I'm a big domestic muscle guy at heart as well. What drove me towards the Evo was that I needed a car I could drive year-round. Despite my background, I absolutely love my car - and that Camaro would give you all the low-end grunt you could ever need

 

For a daily driver I would NEVER consider a vette, of course I live in a place where 500+ inches of snow falls per year. I see that you live in Chico where snow almost never happens. Since you already have your American muscle car, why not get the evo and have the best of both worlds?

 

i have a friend who daily drove his 01 zo6 and that thing was a hoopty. door trim rattles, loose feeling steering, ALOT of power on hand at all times. he ended up trading for an 05 c6. it is apples to oranges. if you love chevys, you wont mind the typical gm stuff at higher mileages. just fix em. the evo, without being biased, is the better all around car, 4 doors, and some power. AWD is very handy @ times. they are both great cars, i would choose the evo every time but, it's your call! good luck.

 

I believe that the person driving is a huge handling factor imo..and op should def. get an evo

 

hahaahaha PRICELESS

i would get the evo, because i am a big guy and its easier to get into an evo than a vette IMO.
