Yeah man, those are beautiful and timeless. They'll still be the coolest looking thing around 100 years from now.

The latest of the "new" style Vett's are the best looking ones since the end of the Stingray era.

I still don't care for the C7 tail lights. Much prefer the round tail lights of before.

No, heck no, never again.
Had a new one in the 1980’s and if you looked at it wrong it would fall apart.
I sold it to a sucker and got out from under that hunk of junk!

I think it would go well with a Vette.

A good price for what you get.
If I was to buy one, it would be an older C4 that I could resto.

That era was not a good one for the corvette but, to be fair, there are very few cars from that time period that this statement could NOT be made about... specifically American cars.

So by that logic, a Miata > many sports cars costing 3 times the price.

Not sure about the newer ones, but an older miata will absolutely provide a purer and more analog driving experience than almost anything on market today.

And if you're interested in having a car that you can take the the absolute limit of its ability, then the miata is a much better choice for the vast majority of people than a 600+ hp RWD car.

My shitty 04 Camry gets pushed to its limits daily. All that thing can do to merge into traffic

Of course. You could push that to its limits much easier, too.

I like your sarcasm, but it's not far off from anything else you've said.

Anyone considered buying a Corvette?


I once inherited $40 Billion worth of shares in my uncle's corporation after he died attempting to summit Mt. Everest. A lot of weird stuff happened after that, but in the end I walked away with enough money to buy every person in my small home town a brand new red corvette.
