How soon till someone posts that you'd be better off starting with a Corvette?

This is posted to the website, not the forum. It shows up on the forum, but will reach a much larger audience on the website.

I like it but that's what I paid for my '08 Z06 with 14k miles.

Funny thing is, that's probably the most common color for these cars. We've done more Ti MSMs than any other.

And I paid $8k for an E39 M5. This is not a Corvette.

Keith's right, it's not a Corvette. I could buy a sport bike for less that's faster.

Here's another way to look at it - it's about the same price as a new Miata RF. Which is also not a Corvette.
