MB (5 years newer) Special performance package:
Excellent
$44,600
Corvette (5 years older) BASE coupe
Excellent
$21,300
Not only did you pay extra for the sports package (Why not test drive a Z06 of the same year as your mb?) but it's also 5 years newer. Technology has changed a lot since 2000. I don't think anyone wouldn't see an improvement in performance in 5 years, especially with the package, and if you're paying 2 times as much, I would hope that they have ALOT as you can get 2 vettes for your mb's price. I can see the back seat being a certain buy condition, but you just compared apples to oranges before saying you wouldn't do that.
This is not a rant, I've never owned a chevy. I'm just responding to your comparison. I don't think GM has downgraded their quality as they're trying to sell cars, you would want anything BUT lower quality. I think you just went with all the gadgets and toys and luxuries. The corvette is a sports car, the AMG is a luxury car that has a souped up engine along with satnav, integrated cell phone, leather/wood/granite, etc. etc. etc. =)
