  If this is what I get from my government dollars (Ontario kicked $4 billion to GM, too), then I am all in for more socialized car companies

  I know the regular Z06 weighs less than 3200 pounds.

  This should weigh about the same, or maybe slightly lighter.

  Going to 11 does kick ass!

  I'm in the base model plus gran sport boat as well though.

  I grew up on CRX's and Miata's... The tq in my 328i still blows my mind. I'll be more then happy with ~425hp

  Sorry, I'm drooling.

  Better to be a racer for a moment than spectator for a life time.

  I did not know that.
  

  I like Corvettes too. Especially the C6RS

  The C6's headlights didn't really sit well with me. It's not that they're exposed, just the overall look. But they're slowly growing on me. I hated the fourth-gen Camaro's headlights when its mild redesign debuted for 1998, but it grew on me too.

  I'd really love an older Viper GTS, but as a more exclusive car, some of its repair bills could scare me off. Heck, they've already built 25.6k Z06s alone. That's, what, roughly two and a half times the number of Viper GTS's they made? I just hope those Vettes keep right on depreciating. $50k is still a bit much for a used one. I know that Edmunds and KBB aren't the be-all end-all of real-world car values (Mk IV Supra or Defender, anyone), but they're saying 37k for an '06 Z06.

  While we're on the subject, does any company make a replacement steering rack/assembly for the C6? I've seen plenty for earlier models, but not for the C6.
