So, she's the boss eh? ;)

Tell you the truth I wouldn't buy either the Porsche or the Vette. I'm more into big sedans. Currently drive an Audi A8. Last car was a BMW 740. Would have stuck to BM's if I could stand the new styling, but I don't.

My guess would be either Roush here in Livonia or Livernois Motorsports.    :devil

I've always liked the Marauders.   

Livernois has a good reputation on the G8 boards.  All of their customers seem happy with their dyno tunes and they invite owners back for re-tunes if they're even slightly dissatisfied or want something tweaked (like transmission tune tweaks).

If I was in that area I'd be strongly considering having Livernois install a supercharger...
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

Went with the Porsche... it's amazing! It's such an engaging car to drive. The car is on rails. The sports chrono plus package is amazing also, probably my favorite characteristic about the car. I have a lot of respect for the Corvette, but I just think the Porsche sang to me more in the end.

Got a great deal, under $50,000! Certified pre-owned with a factory bumper to bumper warranty for 2 years or $100,000 miles (whichever comes first). Car only has 20,000 miles on it. Financed a portion of it as they offered 4.99% for 60 months, that's too cheap to pass up. If any one is ever going to buy a Porsche, I'd highly recommend Pioneer Porsche in San Diego... up front and no pressure atmosphere. Very knowledgeable about their products too.

I'm a happy camper! I appreciate everybody's feedback, it definitely helped me mull it over and come to a decision which I'm absolutely happy with. Hopefully everyone in the Corvette/Other camp will still be my friend. :)

I know people at both, they are both EXCELLENT shops.   If you're ever considering it, let me know, I'll get the first round.  :rock

Hey, at least you bought a sports car.

I mean, we could be having a discussion about which is better: boxy Scion or Nissan Cube?

Buy a Dodge Viper, then have the engine customized for performance. I've seen a few of the mod'ed vipers and they are stunning. Yea the unbelievers will scoff and look down there noses at you, take em for a ride in one of these beasts and they'd get out crying for there mommies.

If i would have wanted a matchbox for a car i'd have stayed 3 years old and in the sandbox.

Viper's are dogs.   I scoff at them, because I've driven a hopped up RT/10 a few times.

Did you just seriously say that???

<--- beginning to wonder if someone has been drinking early on Friday....

Oh really..... is Ferrari interested in anything but F-1? Hell NO ! Is Porsche interested in American LeMans series, NO ! Not too many of the racing community is. CanAm road racing was the last true road racing venue that was worth a hill of beans. Not that being said the American LeMans series is growing but we will see just how big it gets.
