Its also cuz the TA is considered a sports car. The Vette is considered a touring car. The insurance conpanies hate that they can't change the Vette to sports car status. Appearently, they can only change it if the Vette were to stopped being made.
So i've heard.

my mom works for state farm..she says that there just arent enough claims on vettes and stuff like that to warrant a need for high premiums. Not many kids have vettes so you see the situation...oddly enough i check the same thing
my 02 z28 is 180 a month
i checked a 01 speedway white z06 and it was 174

oh wow so really in long run cheaper for a vette?
I might have to trade the Z in few extra bucks i'd save would really be nice and I guess I could settle for a vette
*Calls insure*

I'm with state farm and insurance on my 02 WS6 is only $800 for the whole year.....i had it put on as a pleasure car (i cant go over 7500 miles a year on it) and i have the coverage suspended during the winter time....hell of a deal i thought for only being 24.

Excellent answer!
