I have seen a few of them up close, now, they are amazing cars for sure. Although the comfort I would dispute to some degree. A good friend has a Z06 and that thing is not comfy for me to ride in at all. The seating position is just really bad for me.

It helps if your under six feet tall, or you better have a convertable/T-top. I'm 6'4" so they don't work for me; thank god for trucks and older cars. etc.

For $125k, it better be!! While I'm a through and through Chevy guy, vettes just have never done anything for me. Yeah they are nice looking cars but most of the guys I know that are into vettes are just a different breed. Not your typical down to earth car guys.

(Oh yeah... we sold it because we didn't like the arrogant attitude of the other vette owners... I forgot!)
When I had them,the owners used to wave to each other. Why do you think I wave so much?

I had a '67 in the mid 1970's and everyone loved them. People would cut them up to make them go faster and go drag racing. I think it was a different crowd then it is now.
