well first gear is useless with the 19inch runflats unless the ground is hot...where as the evo hooks up really well as you know until you get to around 450whp and then you start getting issues of traction as well...handling is close at this point I give the evo it around town because I was more comfortable with its limits but after an autox or two with the vette I am thinking that its going to take the cake...It has AH which will not let the car get loose around a turn so it really just hugs the road nicely...parkway I give the vette it 100% as its super smooth and takes high speed turns like a champ...both cars are great and my goal is to own a z06 and a evo...

Awesome car mate, congratulations and excellent choice. My dad's going to be picking up a C6 soon - I love' em!
Sweet deal, what options is he going to get?

yea having back seats and interior room is definitely something the vette is lacking...

I aspire to both the c6 and evo. If you were going to do it again, would you still start with the evo or would you buy the c6 first?

I drove a white C6, but it was automatic. and even the automatic was fast as hell. I love the look of the C6, only if they put some nice finishing touch on the interior....

yea the interior is lacking for most part but the 08s came out with full leather wrapped dash and armrests, etc and it looks much much better...

In that case, when you have both, which will you be using as a daily driver?

Great choice on the car.

Did you ever consider holding off on buying the Vette now considering that the 6.3 liter version is soon to be released?


Nice to see somebody under 40 owning a Vette.

I hope to join you eventually, but I got you beat by a good 8 years in age .


Just get some pics of your new Corvette with your brother's Cobra.

I thought about it but it was just released and won't be ready for another couple weeks...its only 30hp more which is just an intake on these cars and it has some other features that don't really do much for me...yea pics of my vette and my brothers cobra will be coming up shortly...
