Too True.

Find a dealer who gets all excited and orders a heap of them, then just wait. Thats what happened in Temecula with the last model . He must have had 50 of them sitting on his lot for over 8 months straight. Bargains abounded shortly thereafter.

Vette is a GREAT value. All around good performance for comparatively small money.

I'd buy one, however, I don't have enough gold chains or chest hair! :lol:

Ted...I thought you needed lots of gold chains to drive a Ferrari. :)

It would be fun to watch it try to survive 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds :burnout:

When is the last time you saw a corvette over about five years old being driven on the road?
Heck, my '71 911 was my daily driver until last year! Over 30 years of reliable transportation. You hear numerous stories about Porsches with over 200k miles on them.
The corvette guys usually brag about how FEW miles their cars have been driven!
