    Oh yeah. Saw a red one on the highway the other day.

    If I was loaded, I'd have one, no questions asked.

    I tell you the Vette that intrigues me is a black base model.

    Sticker: $44,600
    GMS: $38,300

    Man, that's almost cheap enough that you could swing it if you scrimped and saved.

    Too bad there really isn't anywhere outside of a manufacturer's test track where you could actually go that fast...

    I like the C6, but I'd skip the C6 Coupe and buy a lightly used C5 Z06 instead. It's amazing to realize that you can buy a lightly used, still under warranty, 405hp, semi-exotic sports car for $30k or less these days.

    Not to mention the C5 Z06 is still a better sports car than the C6 Coupe.
