From Mercedes-Benz, rather than a bona-fide shrinking, is presumably

The regular 911 beats the Corvette even if she has (or so they say)

more power. in any case I challenge any corvette against my 911 TT any

day. Corvette owners are so intimidated by the sight of a TT that I

never found one testing their car against mine, they just give the

way. The corvette is a lot of value for the car but she look like a

pimp-mobile, in any case you are right, Porsche, Ferrari etc are not

for everybody if the only thing you can buy is a Corvette, that could

be a good choice.

Oh to have the dilemma! Your two choices makes it somewhat difficult to

compare since it is an apples to oranges comparo. Two seats or four?

Stealth or head-turning attention?



I`m somewhat in your same category. For the two seat coupe, I would say

it`s difficult to beat the price/performance ratio of a Corvette Z06. If

you`d like to carry four of your friends, a Lancer Evo, Subaru STi, or

the M3 or S4 would be a good choice. Either way, the cost of living with

the two German cars would be slightly higher since it`s difficult to do

your own maintenance.



FYI, I`m going to buy an M3 here and when I get back home to the States,

get an Evo. I can have my fun car and then my going to the opera car too!
