There is nothing approaching bang for the buck like a Corvette .

Cars like Corvettes and Porches are true world class GT cars that can cover many hundreds of miles a day in complete comfort in any weather. A Porsche is especially capable with all wheel drive. A new base Corvette or a Porsche Cayman could be bought for around 60k. of course a 911 or a ZO6 would be more expensive.

They create terrific down force and are stable at ultra high speeds and provide the latest safety technology to reduce risk and increase survivability in case of a accident.

A Cobra is a lot of fun.....but has a very limited use....more like a Harley.

Just my opinion of course.

I agree, a Porsche 911 twin turbo is a driving machine, tons of hp tons of tq tons of grip and as long as you change the oil the car will not break, I need one, can't afford the insurance every month... It even comes in a convertible if you want, I want...

I like coupes. The $500 oil changes are painful.... the Cayman is the best handling car I have ever driven and about the only affordable one with a mid engine.

A 100mph in my SPF is a come to jesus moment....

I do my own oil change, about $100 every 15000 miles.





As for the OP statement I say, to have a Cobra in the collection is priceless

Yes Insurance for a Porsche is comparable. I have the oil changed every year. I just put gas in them and drive them, I don't even wash them.

We have a wash and detail outfit here called the " Naked Coeds, we will do it at your house "....... they only charge $300 bucks to wash your car and some my neighbors are willing to chip in.

Damn I hate a dirty car and I want to help young girls go to college.
