Its always been a trade off in my mind. If I can have the looks of a Corvette or the reliability of a Camry...I'll take the Vette.

We got rid of our 2003 Hoe for a Buick Enclave because of 'numerous' electrical gremlins. My Avalanche likewise has similar gremlins. If you do buy GM, which I do, be ready for electrical issues and brake-jobs on a regular basis. I have.

I had an '86 Trans Am. Oh yeah, and a mullet.

Guess I have to go to the Steelers' board to see some nice pics of good ole American muscle.

Truth be told, I had more fun with my '83 CJ7 than any other vehicle ever owned. Nothing like driving with a lift, some loud tires, doors off, top down!

Purple, are you a member of the G8board? We talked about that monstrosity for pages and pages and pages. Evidently the rumor is it was a guy going through a divorce and she was to get the Vette so he went out and had that done to it. Still brings a tear to my eye, none the less.

We currently own 3 GM vehicles and 1 Ford. But honestly, I buy whatever tickles my fancy...so long as it has a US badge on it.

The problem with the ZR1 is that coming down the road to most people it looks like a Vette...just a Vette. You would then need to explain why it is much more than 'Just a Vette'. There is not mistaking a Viper. lol

So, it sounds to me the Viper is the way to go then!

I just wonder what kind of 50 year old guy would trade a Vette in for an STi. STi's are neat cars, but a bit too boy-racer for me. And, I'm not even in my 50's. lol

Spank? My link I bet you will see tons of Camaro's on the road in another year or two. They will be like Mustang's. You will need to have something really unique to have something that even stands out. Heck RS Camaro's have already gotten pretty regular here in little ole Hanover. I believe we already have like 5 or 6 in town.

Oh my....all day long!

Yes, but I don't think we are talking about a daily drier. At least I wouldn't spend $60K on a Camaro if so. They may be expensive for all that, but nothing imo out does a Viper. To each their own, but a Viper just makes the GT500 and ZR1 look standard.

I do agree as a collectible car, it is sweet. And true it would hold it's value pretty nicely. Why not get a lightly used Viper? Those can be had for $50K and you will have a car that stops traffic!

I like them. But $23K seems a bit salty for what you get. As a collectors car, it would be worth it. But for short term usage, you could build your own for less.
