I can see that. The wife thing matters, but at the end of the day it is a corvette. Depending on year and everything parts are pretty cheap and they're a common enough vehicle. I'm guessing C6Z, because if it was a C5Z parts are generally comparable or cheaper than the FRS / BRZ in terms of consumables and most engine upgrade parts. Driving any car at limit on the streets is a risk IMO, but I can see what you're talking about. You will get quickly bored with the everyday power of the BRZ though. I miss having a 1200 RPM cruising speed and being able to overtake anything in 6th without concern, lol.
