It’s not the cost of the Corvette that hurts; it’s all the gold chains that one must buy before you can be seen driving a Corvette.
You are correct that I could buy a new C6 for around $40,000 and it would ******************** slap both an NSX and any Boxster or Cayman. However, to drive a base Corvette is to admit that I have joined the unwashed masses of Corvette ownership. I can’t bring myself to go there. I would rather loose to a Corvette than drive one. I do have some values.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I am right there with you Bud. You clearly have thought about this for a long time and I agree with your conclusions. Go pick out a nice Boxter and with a little suspension tuning you will be reeling in those C5's and C6's in all the tight stuff... where it matters. The Vettes will still own the big tracks and ovals but who cares. You will always have the cooler ride.
And your values will still be intact.
