Be hearing about this for awhile now, its nice, but nothing to get overly excited about, but I am not a vette guy, I am sure the will be drooling over this one

[tubbs]

no thank you. you can get some sweet musclecars for that price. no matter what brand you prefer. i guess i am a softy for the classic muscle. i dont see this holding its value..... i have been wrong before.

If I could I would. My 78 Silver Anniversery will have to do for now.

sorry not a vette fan , especially newer ones.

About equal to just one of my two kids private college educations (even with scholarshiips). If i could only figure out which one to cut off i could get one.

I truly doubt if it will be a classic. Just a limited edition.

Still,, i hope Revell does it.

Hhmmm. Read the article twice, never saw the first mention of the Viper .

While I do like Corvettes, not enough to buy one though. If I did, I would lean toward a '58 or '60 'Vette.

Or a 67! That would be my first choice.

63 split window coupe is the only one that has ever done much for me.

[Maindrian Pace]

Being a new Corvette, there is guaranteed to be a glue kit of it, and likely nothing else from 2013 that might sell.

Beautiful car but l would rather have a new challenger.

[dmk]

Very nice. Convertables are sexy.

While this may be "the most powerful and fastest Corvette convertible ever made", I'd rather have the Z06 Coupe though. Lighter, faster and probably handles better.

It's definitely a nice car, but I think it's about time for a new body style for the corvette, hopefully the 2014 model will actually be an "all new" car!

the other thing to address is the supposed "collectibility" of a car. it is my contention there is no such thing or if there is it is very rare indeed. why? because if you use the car you are going to wear it out and that in itself is against the "collectibility" idea. second, if you use it you are bound to crash it...result: "investment" disappears. and if you store it, the car will become unusable over a period of time unless maintenance is done to it.

the best thing to do with a car is use it. if then in some years/decades down the road it becomes "collectible" you come out ahead but in most cases you will have moved on by then. i cannot fathom someone buying one of these as a "collectible" and then stashing it in a garage to fall victim to rats, disuse and the other problems that can occur when a car is stored for a long period. i guess its ok if you are jay leno or someone who can pay someone to maintain what is essentially lawn statuary at that point, but not to someone of more moderate means.
