Re: wHy NOT to buy?

Several things I noticed. First if you're asking the question in a Corvette forums I think you're looking for excuses to not buy the other cars and by the Z06. In this case - settle your mind and purchase the Vette. Help the keep the Canucks and Michinigians employed.

Second is you want to be distinctive. True Vettes aren't as rare as the "true" exotics but they are still uncommon. Especially those with the gorgeous chrome badges on the side fendors! If you want it to be distinctive then you can allways ship the car off to Mallot for example although Rousch does a much better job IMHO with less mechanical issues when they're done. If you really want distinctive looks and a beast on the street & the tracks the ship her to Lingenfelter, LPE. After their total body upgrades...you're bound to see F50's in your rear and make the Enzo jealous because you'd be running with them and when they spend time on their precious tune up or at the gas station, you're still on the streets! And it cost you so much less $$$.

Don't trust me. Don't even trust American's! Check out the review the TopGear BRITISH Guys gave the C6. They Adore the c6. If you buy a c6 you will have a SUPERCAR at a good price. topgear.com. Check it. They test all the good stuff and they'd still buy the Corvette!
