the Z06 is a wickedly fast car, but all reports agree that the handling borders on terrifying. also, if i'm paying that much for a car, it better not be something in which i'd be embarrased to be seen. the corvette will impress no one except a few redneck chevy fanatics AND it will attract the attention of the cops: the worst of both worlds. i'd rather buy a porsche 911 and at least not look like a douche while i get pulled over. or put the money towards the considerably more sexy and stealthy M5.
