"Whoopie shirt"? That's a new one for me. I hope you don't mind if I use that in the future.
I loved my Stingray too, but I had originally set out to buy an E-Ray or a Z06, and circumstances (space) did not allow me to keep both.
It was only through endless hours of research and discussion that I inevitably chose the E-Ray.
What I really don't understand is why all the E-Ray 'bashing' is so prevalent.
It's never put forward as "Well, for me the Z06 is a better choice because of this, that, and the other."
Instead, it seems to always be "The Z06 is the best, and anything else is but an optioned out Stingray."
I love a good argument as much as the next guy, but please, try to bring some logical discussion forward.
