Anyone here owned a Corvette C6 ? (and tracked it?)
Don't read this wrong. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool german car kinda guy. I own nothing but european cars. Each time I strayed, I regretted it...
But... Having recently sold a 996 (impressive power and handling), and having had a chance to drive a friend's "used" $30K Corvette C6, I must say I am pretty impressed by the tupperware wonder... And it did not even have the magnetic suspension doodad !
$30K buys you over 400 HP, gobs of torque, an incredible 30 mpg on the freeway, and some toys like keyless ignition and a Head up Display. Also a so-so interior, but not as bad as say, a mustang's. REviews have all said the car is much better than previous generations....
So I am curious...(no defection plans, just curious) Couldn't you in theory pick up such a car, upgrade the suspension and brakes for a few thousands, put light sports seats in it, and have a beast of a track car that gives 996s/997s of the same era(ish) a run for their money for $20K less ?
Not trolling I swear, I am wondering if anyone out there went that route before returning to Porsche ;-)
