Corvette or not corvette?

IMO, another con is fuel consumption, I've seen complaints about Boxsters and I think the fuel mileage is reasonable...

If you have not driven the vette, go for a test drive. Porsche and Vettes feel and drive completely different. IMO, the Porsche is tighter, harder and I feel like I have better control (sounds like a Viagra commercial) than the Vette. I'm just not impressed with the drive of the Vette.

I would suggest you drive both cars at least twice, if not more.

These are both great cars IMHO but they are different in look and feel, so it is such a personal issue.

GM is not going anywhere, no issue there IMHO.

The gas mileage on the C6 is actually quite good, depending on how you drive it.

26MPG highway for the base C6. My friend does better than that at 70 MPH.

Good luck.

About a year back before buying the Boxster S I now have the choices were down to it and a used ZO6 Corvette. If you have the opportunity, like BL said, drive both. I see you are in Japan so I don't know easily that could be done. I have seen a few guys on this forum deride the Corvette but I love them, great cars and fun for the money. One of the deciding factors for me was that the Boxster, even in S form, was much more usable without getting into the "stupid fast" zone. A C6 ZO6 can go 125 in third gear, they are absolute beasts.
