The Corvettes here in So.Cal are driven my aging old men & women. I saw Jack Lalanne driving a brand new one a week or so ago and he's in his 90's
Im sorry the car is not hip enough for you?

Or is it not prestigious enough for you?

Guys I saw driving Corvettes here are anywhere between their 30's & 50's so it's not a problem here, & I don't care about car stereotypes anyway.
I also saw what I thought is an exotic dancer driving a corvette convertible outside a strip club, she's blonde & looks hot in it

If it came down to a strictly performance car, there wouldn't be another choice for me under $200k than the Z06. I think it looks amazing, it runs with the exotics, has all the exotic materials (CF, lightweight metal), and comes with a real 6 speed manual. I don't care about stereotypes (hell, my realistic dream car is a wagon right now), and at this price point I don't see any other real competition.

Oh, and around the Ring, the Z06 turned a 7:43. Yes, that is correct, directly from Dave Hill in a recent interview this $65k car did the Nordschleife in seven minutes, forty three seconds! Just for reference, the 996 GT2 did it in 7:46, the Murcielago in 7:43.5, and the Zonda C12S in 7:44! All of these cars are at least pushing $200k.

The C6 Z is serious. 'Nuff said.
