Looking at getting a vette..question tho
I would definitely recommend the Vette. I really like the F-Bodies, but at your age and to own a Vette is really great thing. When I was 8 years old (1970) I fell for a 70 Yellow Stingray. I knew one day I would own one. Here we are 35 years later and Vette number three. I will never own anything other than a Vette. You will definitely be surprised about what Corvette ownership brings, that no other car on the planet can. It is something so special that only other Corvette owners have experienced first hand. You will find out once you own one. It is so hard to describe the bond people have to their Vettes and other Vette owners. It doesn't matter if it is a 74 Vette, or a 63 split window. You will find out lol! Go for it!

Better look at the bigger picture and not just the payment and insurance. These cars break, too, and when they do, it's a lot more expensive to repair than an F-body.

Hell yes it is worth it. I went from a 98 Cobra to a 02 Camaro to a 03 Cobra then a 02 Z06. I just sold my Z06 last friday and I am now buying a GTS Viper. I love stepping up. I say do it and get a Viper next.

The ones we need to feel for are those that paid full sticker. I have never paid full sticker for a car (even new) and never will (knock on wood). 30 grand for a car is nothing these days.

Oh and just in case that was sarcasm. I have driven both back to back. Or my 02 Z06 and a 04 SRT 10. I think the Z06 is a more refined car and easy to go fast in. The Viper gets 1 million times the attention and is very fun to drive but not as comftrable. But I dont drive my cars for comfort. So any GTS from 96-2002. Dont like the RT-10's or the SRT-10's in the looks department.
