F430 vs a C6 Z06

RE: F430 vs a C6 Z06
Ok. For $75,000, I would buy that E55, despite it being used, and having 7000 miles on it, and being this model year, Marty. For $250,000? I'd buy a nice house somewhere, pay off my civic, and put a bunch of things in it.
If we're talking speed/cost, I'll give the Vette it's 10-20 seconds on a ring it's got over a ferrari for $140,000. So in that respect, the Vette is definitely a better car.
To AgentofDarkness, uhm...mate? a Brabus E-class is the fastest 4 door sedan in the world, according to that Guinness book. Slap a backseat, some more doors and bunch of safety features in your Vette, see how it stacks up.
ef4life...guy...if you can afford a $250,000 sports car, you can afford $62 a quart oil changes, mkay?

And how many F430's have you been in? I'll tell ya I have not been in a F430 but I have been in a couple $2/300,000 benze's......one being a SLR and the new vette has every bit the interior quality as those cars. All leather, HUD, informative gauge lay out, firm short shifts from the shifter, a Bose surround sound stereo, supportave seats. So please tell me how the F430's interior is $140,000 nicer? Also the performance speaks for itself, the Z06 is a car you can take to the track, beat the hell out of it, then take a chick out to dinner in on friday night. The F430 on the other hand is going to run into clearence issues on bumps in the road, require expensive up keep, and guess what......it is still going to get beat by a car 1/3 the price. God forbid you actually mod the Z06, I have seen vids of exhaust, intake, and tune Z06's making north of 520whp. Runs the 1/4 mile in the low 11 second range with nothing added but a pair of slicks.
0 to 200mph bone stock, go ahead and talk ****

The vette's interior is no where near 'at least as nice' as the f430's. Thats just a load of bollocks mate. Guy couldn't drive either, but if those 'ring times are correct then...

oh, and people are hitting 10s with just slicks now.
dont get me wrong, Im not a muscle car guy at all. but having ridden in/seen in action this Vette, I know its mostly ignorance for people to downplay its abilities. it is easily faster than all but the top of the line cars from around the world, and even they are sweating this Corvette. I know of quite a few Ferrari owners around here that are selling their Ferraris to buy a C6 Z06, because its fast, reliable, and cheap enough to drive the $&!# out of and not worry about it.
I'd take the ferrari over a vette anyday. Resale on one would be so much more than a corvette, and would hold its value for a longer period as well.
and just wait til the Blue Devil/Stingray comes out......it will not be bothered even with the very top of the line cars. watch out Bugatti.....
