for 70k just give me an Alfa romeo 4C and leave me be

^ I like that too...but for its price I would probably stick with the Z.

Love the 4c but 10k more and your in supercar territory in speed with the 2015 z06 and get a manual to boot

That's ok. The z06 is beyond impressive, however I'd still be happy in my 4C. I'd respectfully decline the 10k z06 option

I love corvettes but chevy already issued two seperate recalls against the C7. Too much money being spent just to turn back in to the dealership imo.

I'm with you brother! Not dinging the vette, it definitely wins the bang for buck performance, but I'm just not a fan. For $70k and some change I'll pick up an Evora S 6MT. I'm really wanting one to replace the Z, been looking at a few pre-owned ones recently.

Since we're on the topic of costs, I thought I'd just randomly rant something...

Not sure how taxes work for others here, but in my state of Virginia, we have to pay a yearly property tax for cars. The minimum amount is 4% of the car's value (based off KBB) -- some cities add an extra 0.1 to 0.3 for skimming revenue.

There's a relief of sorts which lowers the tax, but it's a complicated calculation based off your income, the car's value, it's gas demand, etc. Needless to say, what I make and the C7 won't get a tax break... so basically I'd pay at least $3000 a year on taxes just owning it.

So that's a major reason why I stay under the $50K line. I could own a GT-R or six figure monster, but I'm literally throwing away money because of the vehicle property tax. I just can't get myself to do that.
