Ive yet to see many production machines here or in the US if im visiting that dont have peel. The worst paint on any car Ive owned was on my 370. My GTi put that to shame in terms of depth and peel. Loved my Z but the paint was a battle from day 1. I think the GTi was made on 'good' paint day. Ive seen other that were total crap of course.

Agreed, my GTI paint was done on a "good" day as well, better than my 370z. However I wish the GTI internals were done on a good day, 6 trips to the dealer for warranty repairs in 3 years. Keeping my fingers crossed as bumper to bumper is now over on the GTI.

How you liking the M235i?

Magic,

My GTi was solid.
So far the M235i is great. We take it on the road for the next 3-4 days into Switzerland down to Lake Geneva. This car does things right. I very much like it. Test one if you have not done so. Thanks for asking. So far so good! :)

There are plenty options that are not Corvette if you have $80k to spend. Not *everyone* needs to have the fastest .01% of the cars out on the public roads.

I'm one of those that have fallen off the bandwagon for chasing power. I'd turn that $80k (if we're limiting the discussion just to cars) into a DD and a smaller sporty car that I can have fun with on the public roads and not *have* to egregiously break the law just to experience 50% of what it is.

Even still, some of the options up above still make sense.

Does that mean someone is calling the C7 ugly? Or a bad value? Or awful? Nope. In fact, I absolutely love what the C7 is and it's really the first Corvette that I actively *like* the styling of. But that doesn't mean I'd ever think about getting one for myself. But I'd never begrudge anyone else is that's their preference. Just not what I need nor how I'd spend that money.

Z06 does sound like it'd be a lot of fun. I'm going to go **** with the Chevy dealer next week to see what the new 'vettes look like inside and see if it's something I want to entertain in the future.

well when you start reading some of the threads on here, it's all about speed. I can see where you're coming from with not saying "oh it's still a chevy" or "it's american." Some of the people from here that think the Z is the best car out there and nothing can beat it. I like my Z, but it's not the best car out there.
