Just go test drive a few vettes and find out if they are for you.
Nailed it, I would have said the same thing.

- Corvette Tax.. even at the car wash they think that because its a vette I can detail it every week.


- No One Will Race... I have a VERY Loud exhaust but that doesnt mean I can beat anyone on the street. I wish I could get a god race now and again... when I had my trans am everyone would race... In the last year and a half maybe only 4-5 good solid races..

- I have yet to have anyone tell me to my face that its too bad my daddy bought my car but I know they think that... F#$% Em done be jealous you cant pay cash for a car and still have money in the bank at 25yrs old.

^^^ echoing that, dropping the drivetrain to do any significant work
Soo...

- Drivetrain and plumbing drop to do any work

- Straight pipes means an empathy limit for other people

- That I must wax it every week (hasn't been waxed in... a year and a half?)

I love my Z06 but do wish the interior was nicer. I recently pulled out everything in the car to install the Crazy Cowboy insulation kit and was not happy with the way GM put the interior peices together. I guess you really don't notice what kind of attention your car gets until you don't have it for a few weeks. Mine is in the shop getting a forged motor and everyone at work keeps asking me when I am getting my car back. Hell, I even had the guys at Jack in the Box and Taco Bell drive thru asking me where my car was!!
