I think your statement " not a fan club it is a forum" Is perfect. I owned 2 C6 vettes and never had a problem with either. So I think they are as reliable as an anvil and very good cars. The older feraris were great cars to drive with a wonderful sound but they were miserable to own. Freinds of mine that owned them would say "you live for the tunnels" because of the great sound reverbrating through the tunnel. Most other cars in the day where faster and quicker, but perhaps not as cool. The newer ferraris are very good to own and drive. I owned a Mclaren 12C, I thought it was a great car to own and drive. One of my favorite cars of all time. I own a Aventador now instead but that is more changing the cars in the bunch which I do from time to time. I encourage those that like the 12C to drive one, they are a real supercar. Also the dealership I used was first class, I just wish they were closer. Best Lee
This may be heresy, but I'll take the one on the right, pocket the remaining $200k+ and have a nice life
The interior of the F12 is amazing and that V12 fantastic. The Z06 is not bad looking, but full of cliche's. Still -- the Z06 is amazing value for the money and certainly a lot easier to push around without worry of a massive bill coming around the corner. That to me is the biggest advantage of Vettes -- you can run the crap out of them all day long every day and I doubt few F car owners do the same. Maybe Porsche owners do and it seems like Mac owners seem to drive their cars more than F owners do. But F car owners don't by in large and we all know it.
Z07 looks like the one we'll get. http://www.chevrolet.com/content/dam/Chevrolet/northamerica/usa/nscwebsite/en/Home/Tools/2015_Corvette_Z06_Reveal/01_images/2015Corvette_SpecSheet.pdf
Wow! Cool. Did you think of a color yet? I think they are getting rid of their current yellow and also Cyber gray next year. They have a different yellow coming (I think more like Porsche yellow) and a lighter gray.

Never owned one or worked on one. I got out of the business after the 348. I have no experience with them directly and very little with the 348 either. Same for TR's and Boxers although we did work on some. I'm still looking for a Boxer so I have some knowledge of what to look out for. I don't talk much about the 360 either as I never had one of them either. You never see me post in the classic section aside from saying what amazing cars people have. I've driven some 250's and I think they are darn amazing.
I love the C6 Z06, but just can't warm up to the C7. I don't know what it is but it looks like something KIA / Hyundai would manufacturer in their first attempt at a supercar. I did see a C7 vert in bright red with black rims at a local dealer, and it was sharp so who knows, maybe it will grow on me??
it's really grown on me, although I liked it at first (except for the tail lights, which I still think are awful).
