A great point for sure. $60,000 compounded at 8% for 25 years comes out to a future value of $410,908. It's much smarter to invest the money and buy a beater than to spend it on an expensive new sports car.
Since I have a company car and don't need a car this is the only thing holding me...
I think the conversation is a bit lost in the weeds. The bottom line is that they were testing the Stingray on the stock Z51 equipment, including tires. The overall performance when it came to handling, cornering and braking was significantly better than the Shelby. On straightaways, the...
Fair enough.
The real difference maker is probably the electronically controlled rear mechanical differential.
I'm not a gear head. You could probably tell me the key attributes of the car better than I.
