[QUOTE="DW Ruby, post: 310754, member: 8592"] You bring up an important point here, when you say "[I][B]on this forum[/B] most people would take the Z06 over the E-Ray[/I]". I totally agree with this statement, yet I'm not convinced the same holds true for the general population of Corvette owners. I may be mistaken, but I get the distinct impression that the bulk of forum members place a much higher emphasis on their vehicles than the average civilian. Don't believe me? - Ask your neighbour the top speed of his mini-van. This is, after all, why people join a forum, right? A community of like-minded people extolling the virtues (or pit-falls) of their beloved toys. We even parade them for fun. So, who buys a Z06 and who buys an E-Ray? Let's assume that you actually do get to choose (I will be lucky to see either). Also, we must allow for the perceptions of the vehicles, rather than argue 1/4 mile times, or g-force accomplishments. I believe the guy that loves extreme, high-end performance, wrapped in the beauty of an up-scale Corvette, will go the route of the Z06. I also believe the guy that wants the beauty of a remarkable, up-scale Corvette, encasing high-end performance, will opt for the E-Ray. Back to your point on resale value (finally). Head into the future 4 or 5 years, when each of these cars are back on the market. Each car has 30,000 or 40,000 kms on it, but are immaculate (after all, they were owned by forum members). Do you buy the Z06, knowing that it probably has been 'tested' at every traffic light, and even 'tracked' if possible? This is why it was originally decided on, right? Do you buy the E-Ray, knowing that the original Owner was probably not 'enjoying' the vehicle to it's full potential? He bought it for 'comfort', not speed, right? Not that I can envision this scenario for myself, but were it to occur, I would opt for the E-Ray. I can certainly see this car holding it's value in the future. [/QUOTE]
