Like Onewhippedpuppy, I agree as well good advice. You could add a few more cars to that list too if you use your imagination.

I personally dislike Vettes for many many reasons. The biggest is because they lack character and you will see one on every corner. I see a vette and think lemming.

My Dad had a 01 C-5 Vert. He owned it for a couple of years then added a 1993 RX-7 to the stable. As I predicted, one year later the Vette was sold. He has less than 20K invested in the RX-7 and it was daily driven for a year. It is a high 11 second car and handles like a dream. All the reliability mods have been done and it has not given him a problem in the almost 3 years he has owned it. It weighs 2700 lbs and is putting out 350-375HP not a bad investment at all.

I paid 22K for my 911 and it is the best money I have ever spent on a car hands down. Everything has been replaced on it. I daily drive it, its fast as hell, turns heads everywhere I go, and has been VERY reliable. Next month it goes into a local shop for a once over. I decided every January it will go in for maintenance and upgrades.
