Is your company hiring?

If it were me and had that much to blow on a car, I'd be checking out the Audi R8. Or get 2 or 3 $50-75k cars!

But given your choices, I'd go for the Vette. You'll have enough left over for a few LI Quad HPs to put all over the car to make it 2000% stealth.

I'm actually probably going to retire, let's just say I made a really good investment a few years back!!!

2009-2011 Corvette ZR1 | ZR700 & ZR750 Upgrades | Hennessey Performance - Corvette ZR750

Maybe consider looking into that? I don't know the pricing, that would be something for you to call and ask.

Is bang for the buck a big consideration or not?

Yes, it's 95% certain to be the Vette (ZR1 or Z06), I just want to make sure I'm not missing something and go 6 months later, Duh I could have had a V-8!!!

It's just hard to be a Vette for the money, but I am going to look at the R8 and the Porsches.

I'm still a few months away from making a decision, but I want to start the research project.
