My car just aged really quickly (driving the '08 Vette convertible)

I have a 93 Corvette ZR-1 405HP Stock. Insane quick and fast car, comfortable with the real time dampning suspension settings, rare due to 448 built, and the LT5 was a work of art engine (Lotus)
BUT......nowhere near the fit and finish, and this one has 14K on the odo, nowhere near the styling of the 928 IMHO.

I would love to drive a new vette....especially a Z06..but would settle for a standard 400hp LS2 with the 6 speed paddle shifted auto....thats gotta be fun......But I priced one with the options I want....$56K.....thats steep!! I could have 3-4 really nice 928's for that!

Hold out for a 6.2 440 hp car.
C6 Z06s are really cool cars. Third gear is pretty silly. It goes from 90-120 fast. That said, 500 hp in that chassis isn't ridiculous.

No sir...for my $70K, I'd be looking at something far more exotic. Ooh, wouldn't a DeTomaso Pantera GT5 be sweet!?!
Anyway, pure fantasy...

Try driving the Vette in 10 years and see which one has aged.
By the way, anyone ever seen a cut-a-way drawing of a C-6 Corvette chassis? Other than the transverse leaf springs, it looks pretty much like a direct copy of a '77 928.
