[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Past owner of c6 z06 vette.   Can’t beat the rumble of the old school v8. Crazy fast.  Plenty comfortable inside - I’m 6-3.  [b]Dirt cheap  to maintain vs euro cars such as Porsche, etc.[/b]   My ONLY issue was the low clearance particularly within the front end when traversing driveways so scraped it a few tines.    However, I believe the new one OP is considering has an optional “front end list” feature.  Go for it and enjoy it while you can. [/quote]

This is the biggest thing the Vette has going for it.

It’s has the same maintenance needs as any other performance car, but at a 1/4 the price or less.

Dealer oil and lube service on my 996 was almost $500. On my C7 it was $100. Front brake pads and rotors: $2,700 on my Porsche, $645 on the Vette.

Same performance, same degree of reliability, but a fraction of the cost to own. [/quote]

Why would you take a 996 to a dealer? An independent mechanic would have saved you some money... interesting that you paid much more for the pads and rotors than I did for my turbo, but I'm sure you could have gotten cheaper breaks from an indy too... you can't compare a C7 to a 996 - not even a bit[/quote]
