For me, there's no way in hell I'd pay over $600 a month on an SS.....and that's pushing it. I mean, for the same price I could get a used C6...for cheaper a used GT500, C5 Z06....and for a few grand more I could have a brand new Vette.
I'm sorry, and no offense to anyone, but there's just not $40k worth of car in a new 2SS/RS. There just isn't.
