bye bye c5 auto, hello z06

I really don't know if I want to buy a 2003-2004 Vette again, heard steering column locks and rear main seal leaks (like i had in my 2001 c5 Navy Metallic color auto) 350+hp

was thinking on buying:
2006 Jaguar S-Type R 400hp, Racing

OR

OG S-Type (just 281 hp) Daily

OR maybe Mereceds Kompressor or SL500, AMG blah blah blah

If you don't, you'll probably regret it when you no longer have the opportunity

OP, if you aren't completely sure you want a Corvette and have to result in running a poll, you really should buy something else.
