Twins vs. a used C6?
 

Now, I'm not talking performance, I'm talking for grins and fun factor, which would you buy for the money? As a 20-something with no need for a back seat in the foreseeable future, that plans on daily driving it, showing it, tracking on the weekends occasionally?

I was pretty dead set on the frs, only because the thought of a corvette hadnt even crossed my mind, till I knew what they were going for used anyway.. Lol

If used is OK with you, and FR-S performance is OK with you, and no back seat required, why not get a used S2000 and keep $10k or more in your pocket?

I have a massive hatred of anything with a ragtop, otherwise I would certainly consider an s2000. I don't want to buy a hardtop to put on the s2000 just so ill like the car.

LS3 C6? If not, I vote C5 Z06.

You live in texas...with that kind of weather I'd pick the corvette any day. Mods to a Corvette would be amazing too. The corvette exhaust note alone should put a grin on you :)

I had an 88 C4 vette before the FR-S, and thats why I got it....wanted to get away from the high HP FWD thing...low sitting RWD coupe was just way more fun for weekend duty. There are plenty of cherry C6's with less than 70k in the 23-28k range....I would go vette....b/c Merica. But I got my SB fix with the C10 i got now aswell....happy shopping.

haha bc merica :bellyroll:

On a side note: The world slowest fast looking car I think was the celica lol pervious car.

i think the biggest factors besides new vs used is going to be the question of how much of the corvettes speed you want to use. the corvette is the closest thing to a budget supercar i can think of but the term budget is relative. replacing consumables like tires and brakes isnt exactly cheap and its never fun having to plan on making car payments and setting money aside for maintenance.

personally, i would (well i would honestly be looking at a c5 because of the price drop) hold out until the c7 does some damage to the used c6 market.

HAHA....ya...if your a female and it was auto.

haha it was a auto too...gt version.

140hp 120tq 4 speed auto. 10 sec car....to 60:burnrubber:

If you are still under 24, you are going to be eaten alive by insurance on the Vette.

Also, since the car will be mostly for DD duty, you are not going to be able to access the car's best feature (straight-line speed) without getting tickets and running out of room to stretch its legs very quickly.

I've only driven a C6 once, and it just "drove big." I don't know how else to describe it, but it felt like a I was driving something even longer and wider than it really was...

I have to say that you can get decent mileage with the C6 when cruising on the freeway, which is always a plus.

Go drive one, see what you think...

As someone mentioned before, I do live in Texas, the Houston area more specifically, meaning I have quite a bit of long, straight stretches of road (more of those than proper driving roads, sadly) so I will have decent room to stretch her legs (within legal limits ;) )

I know what you mean, my dad had a C5 for a while, I drove it a few times and it felt much larger than it really was sometimes, it was an odd feeling. My buddy's srt challenger has the same problem... Except it really is big! :lol:

Vette.

There are a few cars a guy should own at least one of in his life time. If you're going to turn your head and look each time one of them passes you, you might as well buy the Vette and get it out of your system. There were two cars in my life that I had to have, a Corvette and a 911. The only way I got over the itch was to scratch and I ended up owning one of each in my lifetime. That's the only cure. Now when I see one of them on the road I just smile. "So many cars, so little time!!"
