If you go with the Vette you also need to factor in High Insurance payments.
Full coverage on a Vette ran me away from getting one.
PLUS having monthly payments that much just sucks.

I think they are really cool cars, just not for me because Id rather take pride in making my car fast and not just throwing down money like everyone else. What about a diff motor in the 240 if you're worried about it holding up? My buddy has a bone stock rb20 in his 240 and its a start, lots of room to grow, and no its not gonna break - its a stock engine... Anyways if you stay with the 240 you will save A LOT of money and have something to do with your free time

one good thing about vettes is they are hardly ever driven even near their potential unlike the average higher end tuner car that gets abused from day one by retards that live with mom and just got a real job (STI/EVO).

personally i wouldnt want to insure or make payments on a vette though, id rather have either no payments or real low ones so i can afford more toys for the car since we all know that stock sux!

Depends on what you want. To me gas mileage and reliability are important. I would keep the 240 as a DD and get a Vette as a toy
