The corvette is one of the few american truly muscle cars that I get alone for many reasons. 4 months ago it was time for round two and I was again splitted between the C6 Vette with Z51 package or the BMW 335i.

I read about the new vette with 436hp and I think they set the standrads even higher. Unfortunately the purchase of a car no longer depends on just you, if you have any family members you must consider that a 2 door coupe doesn't do any good if your family is 3 or more.

I think this is a heck of a car and very well equiped. It is undeniably one of the best performance/price car package put out there in the market.

The insurane for me on a C6 Z06 was going to be cheaper than on my Evo 8 MR so I can mathematically guess that the egular C6 will be also significantly cheaper to insure than a Evo, this is a fact. I never test drove the regular C6 but I did test drove the C6 Z06 in a solo test drive(tons of fun!!)

Go for it bro.

+1, my insurance will be 250 dollars cheaper than my evo every 6 months!!!

From my experience.. a stang can't hang with a vette on a road course. Drag strip, maybe..

I rather get a new Camaro with a LS7... since you guys are soo concerned with 1/4 mile times.

It'll probably go for 30-40k when it comes out in my opinion.
