Did you just copy and paste this post into the thread about the rcf?

Definitely test drive a bunch - even if they are really on the outskirts of what you have in mind. You only get to car shop every so often, so make the most of the process. You may find the perfect car is one that you hadn't even originally considered.

As for the Vette paint, check them out carefully. Yes, they should have fixed it in 3 years, but they had 50 or so to get it right already! ;-)

I edited my earlier post - you might not have seen, but I added some other thoughts.

Keep in mind, the outside appearance is the smallest part of the equation. You are inside the car more than out. And performance has to factor in. Mostly, the car has to do what you want it to (a practical daily, or comfy on long trips, perhaps carry some groceries, or be good at the track, or cheap to operate, whatever). Just try them all and go for the one that puts the biggest smile on your face!

Ahh yea saw it just now,

Its gonna be my daily driver for sure. And the interior on the porsche is my biggest caveat i have with it.

I was also REALLY considering the mustang 350gt. but again the interior kinda turned me off to it.
The stingray interior makes me feel like i REALLY wanna be in it, as to why im always leaning more towards that car as oppose to the others.

On the 4C note, was looking at it, but meh, imo not enough power for me atm.

I will def look into consumables for porsche, im hearing alot on lube. Which would def add another cost. Ill take a look!

Keep in mind, power only matters at high speed (and in arguments with ricers). It's power-to-weight, and torque that you live with at any other time.

Take a look at the performance summary comparison charts of 4 cars at this link (yes, I added the 4C, partly because I'm such a fanboy but also to help demonstrate that power isn't everything, LOL)...

It shows you just how good the Vette is (and how useless the 370Z Nismo is, by comparison, although it's really out of its league against these cars anyway).

Ignore the "price to performance" index at the bottom of that page - this is a European site, and the Vette is outlandishly priced outside of North America.

Have fun!

I'm in the same exact boat. Never liked Vettes til the C7. Always liked porsches.

I like the Cayman S flat sixes....but they are going UP in price. It's ridiculous. Also like the 997.2 911s but not only are they too going up in price they are getting a bit older now and odds are higher maintenance issue will be popping up.

I'm going to wait for the mid engine C8's to come out then jump on a C7. I really liked the driving position of the C7s.......plus mucho torque.

Yea when i was in the market initially it was between the 370z, Cayman, or Gen Coupe.

Now that we upgraded in life, its maybe time to upgrade the car.

But yea im leaning towards the c7 as well atm. Need the torque
