omg i have been waiting for this comparison for a while now and i am not dissappointed...performance figures are simply amazing...especially the z06

I personally would love the f430, theres just nothing better out there...

Pro: The Porsche and the Ferrari will still be worth lots in many years. Look and sound better.

Con: If you get the Vet its still just a chevy. It also won't last long. I still don't like the styling. BUT it is by far the best bang for the buck.

I personally like the German cars more can you tell.

EDIT: The smart person takes the F430 sells it and buys the Vet and Porsche

Why won't it last long? It has the simplest, most reliable, and easiest to maintain powertrain of the 3.

got proof to back that up?
Of course everybody would take the F430, but if it came down to the average person w/ money they'd find great value in the z06. If it were my money I would be stretching budget just to buy a z06 so I'd have to pick it by default.

If I wanted something flashy it wouldn't be any of those, it'd be the baby Aston.

Z06, paint looks cheap in person, fit and finish is BAD. Got a painted CF roof? Hope it doesn't fly off! :)

And people wonder why it's so cheap. It's still a Chevy, and it shows... Big time.

The Ferrari.

Theres more to a car then how it performs, even if it is an uber exotic expensive one.

You know nothing about cars, let alone the Vette do you. Look how much they sell for even 10years later. They hold their value very well. I should know, I specialized in Corvette/F-body engines when I first became a mechanic (L98 motor) and have a 2001 Corvette in the garage right now that just broke 40k and has only needed oil changes, 1 set of tires, and I replaced the front brakes to ceramic to get rid of the black dust on the wheels. Nothing else. But yea you just know they will not hold up. :roll:
