The Corvettes here in So.Cal are driven my aging old men & women. I saw Jack Lalanne driving a brand new one a week or so ago and he's in his 90's
Im sorry the car is not hip enough for you?

Or is it not prestigious enough for you?

Wouldn't you hope to drive something as nice in your 90's??? I'll be happy enough if i can even DRIVE at all when im 90.

Guys I saw driving Corvettes here are anywhere between their 30's & 50's so it's not a problem here, & I don't care about car stereotypes anyway.
I also saw what I thought is an exotic dancer driving a corvette convertible outside a strip club, she's blonde & looks hot in it

If it came down to a strictly performance car, there wouldn't be another choice for me under $200k than the Z06. I think it looks amazing, it runs with the exotics, has all the exotic materials (CF, lightweight metal), and comes with a real 6 speed manual. I don't care about stereotypes (hell, my realistic dream car is a wagon right now), and at this price point I don't see any other real competition.

Oh, and around the Ring, the Z06 turned a 7:43. Yes, that is correct, directly from Dave Hill in a recent interview this $65k car did the Nordschleife in seven minutes, forty three seconds! Just for reference, the 996 GT2 did it in 7:46, the Murcielago in 7:43.5, and the Zonda C12S in 7:44! All of these cars are at least pushing $200k.

The C6 Z is serious. 'Nuff said.

Ha there have got to be chevy dealers all over the place...im sure you could call chevy and find out who are some of the best dealers within a certain distance from you. They just brought Lamborghini and Bugatti to my area. I think now we have one of everything.
