I take it that I wouldn't be able to replace it with another Vette, so...........
A 1970 Ferrari Dino! :)

.....or a '34 Ford 3 window coupe with a 350 4 bolt! ;)

Come on 43 you can't pick another vette. SomethingOTHER than a Vette. I would go with the new Jag XJ convertible very nice, 400+ hp ,but no manual transmissionavailable.[:@]

Hmmm... That would be the XKR, not XJ. :D Cosworth did a nice job on the SC'd 4.2 litre, and the automagic actually isn't too bad in that one. The XJ is the 4-door family Jag. I had a euro-spec 2001 VDP XJ8, and a 95 XJ6. Very nice rides.

Since the Vette is my 2-seater fun car for running to Wallyworld for diapers and dog food... I'd have to go with either a Porsche 968 cabrio tiptronic (I actually fit nicely in that one), a DeTomaso Mangusta, or a Studebaker Avanti.

bill.

This is easy because I consider this everyday. I would absolutey trade my vette in for a 97 or 98 Toyota Supra single turbo or twin turbo. The only way I would do this is if it had low miles and almost no mods. The problem is they hold their value extremley well. A Supra from those years with low miles (under 30,000 miles)even on ebay goes for over $30,000

Here is some pics and no I don't care how ricey you guys think they are, this car has some serious balls.:D

I would have to pick the Ford GT. If I was going to stay with an American Auto Maker, I would have to choose the Ford GT.

Sorry if I disapoint anyone with my choice, it would be a GM one ton dually crewcab four wheel drive diesel. I've had two 80's crewcabs, one was a dually, the other single wheels, both were 454's, great trucks for the intended purpose although a little tough on gas mileage.

If I didn't have a Porsche the answer would be a Porsche Carrera, maybe a GT3.

Since I have the Porsche, one of two cars:
1966 Sunbeam Tiger, all original (Yes, they had a Ford V8, but no, they weren't really fast)
Brock Superformance Coupe

God, I hate questions like this. I immediately begin to shake and form sweat around my eyes with even the notion of losing our Corvette.... :D

1984 Ferrari Daytona Spyder

I looooove this car. Mind you, if you squint when you look at it, it looks like a C4 to me in many regards. [8D]

My second choice would be:
New Dodge Challenger

In my books, you just can't go wrong with a Hemi. :D

Well C3 I actually decided on my new Vette ( triple black Z-51) instead of a Jag XKR convertible. I couldn't see spending an extra30 k for an automatic with less pop. Although I could definately use the back seat (as small as it is) since I have three little ones at home.

ORIGINAL: TealC4

Porsche 911 Twin Turbo preferably a 993 (i.e. 1995-98). A new TT would be fine also.
