I've been thinking lately about maybe a 997 GT3.
There's a few 2014 Corvettes running around Detroit on M plates. They look like kit cars. GM really blew the styling on the Corvette.

Well you may not like the looks of the Vette but there's no denying it's the best bang for the buck. Btw, I think it looks great.

Blackboy, you must be lost. Go over to www.corvetteforum.com and troll there.

Corvette parts, while cheaper than Porsche parts in price, are completely out of line for what G.M. provides so you "best bang for the buck" argument flies out the window.
I've owned two Covettes. Granted, they were C3's but they couldn't hold a candle to the 1978 911 SC I first test drove during that time, both in performance capability and emotional content. As a matter of fact, one week after that test drive, the Corvette I owned was already in the hands of it's new owner.
Maybe you haven't seen the C7 in person. I have seen a lot of them and I'm not impressed. The styling strayed too far from the DNA of Corvettes of the past. I fear that GM has made a huge mistake and that loyal Corvette owners (which make up most of the customer base) will reject this car. Ford went through this with the Mustang and Porsche with the 996. Time will tell.

To be clear....the statement "best bang for the buck" is important when buying tv's, toaster and daily transportation. It's completely irrelevant when discussing performance cars, IMO. Performance cars are bought for mostly emotional reasons.

Up until Oct. 29th, 2012, 1988 911 Turbo and a 1994 968 until Hurricane Sandy decided I was enjoying myself too much and took them both and two other cars along with the first level of my house. Is that good enough for you?

The only picture of the 968 that I can remember is of it in my driveway under 4ft of water. As far as the 911T, I have a picture of that and my Boss 302 Mustang on the flatbed the Monday after thanksgiving being taken away. Those are in my phone but I don't know how to post them. All other pics are on film the old way.
