I don`t believe he was laughing at the Corvette per se...he was laughing
at the writers "equals any german in quality" statement. Yes the Corvette is
a nice little ride and like a Mustang Cobra, can go real fast, but,
quality-wise and driver/synergy-wise it is still years behind. Mis-matched
panels, dodgy interior materials and resale value about as good as grandma`s
Impala make it a great car in the short term, but if the money is available,
why not upgrade?
Hell, I think the new Z-06 has an identity crisis...Looks like they
broke into Dodge and stole the Viper front end!
I am sure you could smoke a 1955 550 Spyder also, but, sometimes top end
is only a small factor in owning a great car.

If it took you a decade to come up with $50k, why blow it ALL on a
sports car? For $15k you can buy a nice used E30, M3 - (the "real" M3)
and keep the rest for later. It sounds like that is more in your
*affordable* price range, anyhow. FWIW, my buddy just bought a 996. He
spent 10 times more for it than I spent on my E30 325is. While it was a
nice car, I can have just as much fun in my E30 for 1/10th the price.

If I didn`t have a wife & 2 kids I`d go for a 911.
