Oh the ford GT is an exception

I think the pontiac solstice was a unique design but, crappy suspension and poor ergonomics kept the solstice from being the classic it should've been.

I hsve to agree with all your statements though.

It already feels like you're getting kicked in the *** when you nail it!

But I hear yea, will probably look into some goodies for it in the next few months.

The C7 looks really good in person, however I couldn't buy the base model as i love widebody vettes! Performance is definitely there with the Z51 package, but it just doesn't look aggressive enough for me.

Once the new ZR1/Z06 models come out, I'll definitely look to upgrade but it will be several years out for sure.

Nice choice. I love the Z06's and the C7's now really catch my eye. I got to play with a new C7 equipped with the 7-speed manual.... its owner was not seasoned at rowing his own gears, so I soaked up the glory of beating him off the line and through a few roll races... he couldnt seem to get it nailed down... But I could tell that car could move with the right driver. I'll just wait for them to depreciate and buy one 2-3 years old

Yea even the base C7 is crazy fast (3.9 0-60) and is almost the same performance levels as the C6 Z06. I really want to drive one to see how the handling differs from my Vette but I could never buy a base one. Would have to go with a Widebody version. Can't wait to see how the new Z06 does once it hits the road in the next few months.

Agreed, they are just too pricey right now to justify buying one. When the used C7's come in around $45k I'll have one in my garage I'm sure!
