i think its time to realize that real driving respect comes from lap times at the track. If i were you, id get that Exige. It will get better mileage than the Vette and be more fun to drive (yes, it will). And get out on road atlanta and start racing in the corners, its way more fun and you will never ever get bored of it.

Same goes for the 848, good tires and good gear and your are ready.

The street is for showing off.
The track is for putting it to use.
