I love my new 2007 Z-51 vert. and it is definately the right car for me now. More than enough pop even without mods,nice ride, power top and seats (heated) as well as every option available except two-toneinterior(you know creature comforts for my dailycommute) also fits my lifestyle now, but at your age I would vote for the Viper vert ( I onlyconsider convertibles ) It'snice looking (you want to grab attention at that age while you still look good) and if it's not a daily driver the ride difference won't matter and you don't need all the other options that come standard on the new C6, so why pay for them. You can always come back to the Vette when your older (and I bet that you will) It all depend on your circumstances. I was just reading about the new Caddy vert builton the corvette platform and thought someday when I'molder I'd definately consider buyingthat . Anyway, good luck with your decision and please post pictures when you make your purchase.
