Even if you just purchased the C6, I would go for it. The corvette is a great car for the money and gives you a completely different driving experience from anything else. Please keep us updated with what you decide.

Since a lot of people on this forum have had experiences with many different cars, I figured it would be a good place to ask. If I go to a corvette forum, I am sure I will get feedback telling me to buy one.

Drove a C6 already. Smaller than the C5 and a bit wierd looking but great bang for your buck. Braking kinda sucked as did the suspension but that's ok for under 50k... lot's of power.

The suspension on a 996 C4S/TT is absolutely a disgrace!

What about the upcoming 400bhp Mitsu Evo?
Just read the comparo against the Zonda in CAR mag.
It's insane for <50k.
