Convertables are for pole smokers.

I disagree... I want a vert again and just want a new car in general. Panoz runs around the track just fine.

C6

I could never live with a Viper. Outside of the flash, the C6 is a much better car.


(And please know it pains me to say that.)

Neither.
Maybe if the vette was a Z06. Not a big viper fan.

Vipers are mostly about the whole rare-ish zomg quality. Yeah 500hp but you know you can make great power with minimal mods on the C6. Go w/ the Vette.

Too many miles. Only 43k? It's a corvette not a civic. Not to mention 43k on anything model 2007+ is average-excessive. I don't know Brian well (or at all really), but I'm sure he'd rather a car with low miles and less abuse. You can find Vettes all day with under 20-30k. I wouldn't compromise personally, even if it meant a z06 over a regular vette.

Anyway that's not really what I was posting to say. I was going to say get another vette. Don't get a vert though... please, get another targa. Like said before Targa > *

As much as I love Vipers they obviously wouldn't be a good DD and you know exactly why. It's nice to toy around, just as I debated on getting a Lotus Elise as a daily. In the end the wow factor won't out weigh the negatives and flaws of having to drive that thing everyday. Interior is also very sub-par (I <3 interiors. You said which and why, so there you go.
