The cost is why I choose our car.
IMO the best all around performance, comfort, convenience, looks and price. Got to keep it at least until the bank no longer owns it. Sure if we could have the money to own all the cars listed, a couple of exotics, a huge warehouse garage to park them in, we could pick daily which car to drive. A dream for many of us. The research I did along with info in this forum is what got us into the B6S4. Who knows, maybe it will become a classic like my E30M3 most likely will. For me once I pick, I keep the vehicle a long time.

Z06=supercar performance @ S4 prices......
I am sure some people buy them as garage queens (or to pick up women) but i have met quite a few that are very knowledgable and passionate about their cars. There isnt much (modified b5/b6 s4 included) that can beat it either in a straight line or on a racetrack (in fact, to get similar levels of performance with a warranty, you would need something like a viper or porsche, which would cost you roughly twice as much). I hope one day to own one
Disclaimer: i know some b5 guy is going to say "hey there are b5's that are faster" but there really arent. There may be some freak instance of a b5 S4 running mid 11's, but a Z06 will more consistantly achieve low numbers (even on less than cold days, etc). This is especially true if you spend the same amount of money on the Z06 as you would have to on the S4 (brand new z06 can be had for 43k right now....add some grippy tires and other bolt ons and you can run LOW 11's all day long.)

OK guys it was a joke but...
Until recently, the Corvette was just above a true muscle car (Camaro, Mustang and so on). The new Corvette is a much better car, no one can say otherwise. However because of the older types it as always been know as a¨"Macho" car. The profile of the people driving them was in a lot of cases as follows; man that are short in stature and need a Corvette to prove themselves, in other words they have the short man syndrome.
