On a related subject, just thinking out loud and dreaming of a new sports car... Is the 'vette the best sports car in the world, cost no object?
100,000 mile warranty, the new ones have all-hand-stitched-leather interiors as an option, the '07 base 'vette butt-hoses a 911 Turbo around a race track (see here: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/hot_lists/high_performance/features_classic_cars/the_lightning_lap_2007_feature ), the Z06 beats a ford GT, the racing porsches, probably Italian cars around the same track.
They ride pretty good (better than Porsches cars IMO), they're comfy (better than Porsches cars IMO), the '08's aren't annoyingly loud on the highway, I got 31mpg for a 15 mile test drive at 65-70 on the highway... if they cost $200k and came from Italy people would call them the prettiest cars on the road, they never rust, probably the biggest owners group around, aftermarket galore, the most hot-rodable engine ever, if you want to go that route... 5000 service statiosn in the country, so you never get stuck being butt-hosed by the 1 Porsche station within 300 miles of you, hwo knows they are the only 1 within 300 miles of you, and spends lots of time planning ways to maximize the butt-hosing they can give you as a result of this (i'm joking, sort of).
So whats the downside? Not rare enough, i guess?
I'm really thinking about pulling a little german needle out of my eye and getting an '08 Vette.
