God, I love the 07 Corvette. It has to be the best yet. But, before I spent $60 - $70k+ on an 07 Corvette, I'd rather go for something like this 62 Corvette Convertible. While it won't compete at the same level, I think the number of smiles per mile are about the same and the value wouldn't sink with every mile on the odometer.

'vettes rule! I have a plain jane '87 coupe, and love it. the odometer is right around 289,XXX miles and still running strong. Waiting to purchase an old school C4 Zr-1 in a few months, and finally say goodbye to my old friend. :smile:
I would have to agree to buy one of the older one's instead, they don't make them like they used too. I don't consider myself a Corvette fan, but I do like the 57'-62 convertibles! Barrett Jackson is full of all of GM's museum and experimental cars for sale, what a shame that they are selling off pieces of their history!
I had a 2002 C5 Corvette Coupe in Germany and Italy. Not many Americans really understands how great a car the Corvette is until you put them up against the so-called best cars in the world from Germany and Italy. I admit I had quite a few bolt ons and was probably making about 450Hp at the end of my time in Europe, but I beat some fairly awesome cars including many Porsches, Euro spec Vipers, Mercedes AMGs, plenty of BMWs including M3s, several Ferraris, Jags etc. etc. on road courses and the autobahn. I am very proud of the American Icon Corvette. Wish I had a ZR1 to take over!!! I had my Vette at Nurburgring for 4 laps...what a trip that was!!!
My fascination for corvettes started when I was a little kid. Now I am the proud owner of a 1978. Normally not a speeder but it is hard not to in a corvette. Within the first two weeks of ownership I got stopped for doing 98 in a 55 zone. A very nice state trooper took one looked at my temporary tags and said "take it you just got her and wanted to try her out" (yes officer) "well she looks too good to end up wrapped around a tree somewhere so how about you slow it down and we'll call this a verbal warning". It was a lucky day!
