also a ttrs slightly less than the vette

Depends on the need. Compared as performance cars, C7 all day, every day. Need some practicality? The Boss has a back seat (if you don't get the delete pkg). TTRS is an awesome car, but I don't feel like filing bankruptcy the first time something breaks out of warranty.

edit: Actually I'd throw the '15 Mustang GT in there over the used Boss. Also a no-brainer for me.

C7 is unbelievable, but if $20k isn't chump change for you the Mustang is cheaper and still fantastic.

The practical choice is probably the Boss 302 (cheaper, rear seats, etc.), but I would get the C7.

C7 Vette all the way, but it would probably end up with a Mustang as its stable mate because that's all MomHawk will drive.

If you have the means, can't imagine not going with the Stingray. All the reviews I've read and videos I've watched indicate an incredible machine for the money. I'm hoping to graduate into a used one as my next car in a few years.

That's my plan. The savings account is already open. I'll be keeping the 86 though.

I'd get the TT RS, because it's not everyday i'll run across a turbo 5 cylinder with Quattro...

Corvettes and Mustangs will always exist, a TT RS? Not that much...

CK_Bladesmith · 05-03-2014, 09:33 PM

My c7 is already ordered. Frs for a daily and c7 for the nicer/faster car. Win win.

What he said!

I love the C7 but wouldn't buy one new. Wait a year or two and let someone else take the initial depreciation hit.

He was saying how the 302 would be $20K cheaper then the Vette.
