Maybe a Z4 M coupe, but the Z4 by itself is crap. Even then, the Z4 M coupe wouldn't hold a candle to a C6 on the track... I've witnessed it. Z8 = mythical. Production numbers are low(didn't even know they still made it) and price tag is way up there.

Yea right, try and find a new vette under 60k by walking into a dealer. I worked for chevy for 2 years, never saw one, NOT ONE, and we carried all automatic vettes, noone wants them.

Base is to get you in the dealer, who marks it up bigtime. You might be able to talk em down right now, but not when I was there.

Its a beautiful car, just poorly presented and put together. Not to mention I hate american cars (well, Honda is American, made right here in teh states, so save the states, buy honda )

Is it me, or does the close up of the rotors in that add look like the rotors are all torn up?

Because they are selling them starting at 49k.

I know, I know, they dont have anything in their line-up except for trucks that anyone was buying or that was any good.

I do not think having the government run this company is going to do any better.
Smack yourself all you want, selling 'vettes is a money maker for dealerships. And the Chevy Cobalt is a great car for its niche. The Malibu is another award winner. Problem is, just like Oldsmobile and now Pontiac, they started making very good products too late.

See, that is the problem, you cannot compare BMW's to the Vetter, b/c the Vette is in a class that BMW does not have a contender for. Good or bad, thats the way it is.

They are grooved, not torn up. What that pic tells me is that someone was coming to a stop very quickly... multiple times.
