The Corvette still hits that. Unfortunately, a new ZR1 is over $100k & 99% of us cannot afford that.ANNDDDDD this supports my theory about a ton of cars.
Back in the day, the corvette and aston's of the world were "sports" cars. You'd take your lady dressed up out in it on a hot date, look dapper, and drive a beautiful automobile. They were fast enough to be fun, but not dangerous.
Now it's lets bolt wings to everything, make it do 250mph, and shoot into space. The practicality of performance/sports cars have gone out the window and it's showing in their used prices.

Let's be honest, the old cars like that ride like shit & brake like shit.ehhh

I wish someone would just make a smaller, two door sports car that isn't looking to set world land speed records. I'd much rather drive the '58 everyday (modernized though) than the C7.

Just shows how much they depreciate. Although the people with the funds to do this don't care.
I love the C4 Vettes, and would love to own one in good condition.View attachment 1487821
Stock: low/mid 13's, 0.92g skidpad, and $10-15k gets a prime example.
Reminds me of Heavy Metal.ehhh

I agree, but I'd be just fine with an original, non-modernized one. I have no interest in the ultra-expensive, ultra-performance exotic varieties. IMO the epitome of fun on the street with a Corvette was the 1965 375hp FI 327. With the 4-wheel disc brake option. A personal favorite.ehhh

It's fun driving my friend's 63 Impala SS Vert or 56 Chevy 3100, but every time you have to brake that damn Impala is scary as **** with drum brakes & highway driving? It's floating all over the place. I won't even talk about the gauges being inaccurate. At least the '56 has Dakota digital gauges in it. I still want a 67 Chevelle, but has to be resto mod. No way would I be happy with it all original.I’ll take a 58 over a C7 any day. I find that I enjoy the drive in my old stock 65 Impala than my supercharged 3V Roush or my GT. Something about an old car that’s special.
You might look at the new TVR Griffith (second gen) that’s coming out, Coyote based 5.0, lightweight, and small.
Pick your poison.
$15k also gets you a C5Z or a base C6.View attachment 1487821

I've been shopping around for a C5z and if you want a 100k car with "minor" accident history then 15k is about right. Otherwise 19k or so seems to be the average for a good one without stories. The market is flooded with them right now, for better or worse.$15k also gets you a C5Z or a base C6.
Then prices have gone up. When I was looking, $15k-17k bought a nice example. Still, 100k mi C4 or 100k mi C5Z for same $? Give me the Z06.
