Both of them, at the end of the day, are just cars....

To quote myself: "No one ever said on his/her death bed, "I wish I'd driven the Ferrari (Corvette) less.'"


I was just joshin' ya.

What an incredibly stupid remark. You checked the HP of the 1988 Corvette lately?

It's only been with the very latest Vettes that the handling was anywhere nearly as good as Ferrari has been all along. The feed back on the steering wheel and road feel is the stuff we old guys still lust for....

Just curious: how mean seat miles do you have Ferraris?

While I cannot touch the seat miles I have in Corvettes - 700K plus - I do have more than 40,000 miles in my Ferrari under all sorts of road and travel conditions.... whole other animal. Not to mention the resale - even when putting miles on it!

And how much are your Z06's worth now?

My C7 is worth about half what I paid for. The Ferrari is worth more than double what I paid for it.... and, yes, I have cash left over too.
