I can drive the Vette 4000 miles (chicago to tucson and then back) with no problems (while getting 26+ mpg). I would be very worried about doing that in a 430

and I can get the oil changed at jiffy lube, for $80
Definitely not about the money or outright performance. The Corvette Z06, either the C5 or C6, is tough to beat for out-of-the-box performance but Ferrari buyers are looking for a Ferrari, not just a fast sportscar.

I would say that the C6 is the best Corvette yet but it's just not my cup of tea.

Check out these beauties. These belong to a friend of my brother-in-law. A rich friend I might add.
