First Corvette
My lease ended on a 2007 BMW M Coupe (Z4 hardtop)
I just got a black/black 2 tone interior 2008 3LT Coupe with 4,000 miles on it.
Some descriptive words and phrases for the Corvette
Docile
Comfortable
Spacious (for a 2 seat coupe)
Smooth riding
Solid
And with a push of the right foot
Violent
Fighter jet
Intimidating (to others)
Exhilarating
A Beast
The most amazing machine I have ever driven. Blows the M Coupe off the road, into a ditch!

Glad to hear you like the vette.
BMWs are outstanding machines also, the vette is just a different beast.

My BMW was so great they bought it back under the lemon law! No more of those over priced Hun machines for me..... EVER! If you want to talk about an electronic nightmare this car was it. Even the dealer said they were clueless on how to get it right.
No vettes aren't mechanical marvels but neither are BMW's. I do know dollar for dollar vettes are hard to beat. I just hope GM doesn't price the car out most peoples ability to buy it. I really believe it's at that point right now with 70k vettes becoming the norm!

Was with you until I saw the "Intimidating (to others)" you'll understand what I mean after you get tailgated by a 4x4 truck or a Subaru WRX about a hundred times
enjoy and congrats

I forgot to mention my little dog fits perfectly in the trunk area - free to go back and forth from there to the passenger seat.
