When I got my '97 Corvette, my hair was brown, high and tight. My wife was (and still is) 2 years younger than me. Manual?...Check. I owned the car for 20 years, 175K miles and lots of Autocrosses. For me, it's all about the fun!

I enjoy the good natured rivalry between car brands, but never understood those who take it to the level of vitriol. My brother-in-law is defiantly in the "Mopar or No Car" camp.

I drove my '65 Mustang in Autocross for many years before taking it down for a rebuild in '93 (my never-ending project – "I'll get it done this year!"). I showed up at the next autocross with my '94 Firebird Formula that "I bought for my wife" . As expected, most of my Ford buddies gave me a ribbing, but there were a few who were genuinely peeved. I had a ball with that car!

In '97, I doubled down on GM with the Corvette. It is one of the best cars I've owned. I might still have it except Chevy no longer supports the electronics, so I raided a wrecking yard, found my module and sold the car.

In 2019, I wanted to start doing track days. I've always had a passion for Shelby's and for me, the '19 GT350 has turned out to be the perfect weapon.

The first time I showed up at an Autocross with the GT350, the Ford guys obviously approved and most of my Chevy buddies gave me a ribbing, but as before, some of them were genuinely annoyed. Why? We live in wonderous times with an amazing selection of automotive toys. I've owned Dodges, Audis, BMWs, Pontiacs, Chevys and Fords. I think some were better than others, but I had fun with each one.

I like what Chevy has done with the new Corvette, though I lament the lack of a manual transmission. If I were racing, I'd have the DCT in a heartbeat, but I'm driving for the fun of it and enjoy the manual. I love the FPC and think it's cool that Chevy followed Ford's lead. To me, the sound is one of the GT350's greatest features.

However, I suspect I'll not be swapping my GT350 anytime soon. It's the best car I've owned yet. I would probably only consider the Z06 (or Z07) option as a worthy replacement. While the GT350 as a track toy is a (relative) bargain, I expect the Corvette Z06 is going to be priced in the exotic region.

Forgetabout the ZO6 the monster GT3 race car will soon be for sale also

Ford needs to get their act together and come up with something comparable and affordable. We are going to be seeing a lot of these Z06's on the race circuit.

No on second owner, do it now make a deal at MSRP and enjoy it soon

Time waits for no one

Yes, but I will give it to them if the dark side is needed....I would suggest, be the second owner, the old man who bought the Corvette will need to sell it soon, and the 30 plus younger wife won't want it, I think, 45K in a few years, (since there will be so many) is not out of the limit.

BTW, I am 62 and bald myself, I think I look better in a Ford GT (06) than in a Corvette. Nobody is seeing me in a FGT, they are too busy looking at the car.

AND, is it me, I actually have a little problem spotting the new one, as it resembles Corvettes of the past to me. It just does not stand out. And one thing is certain, you will not confuse a FGT with a Mustang.

[GT350DAVE]

I would rather have an 05-06 FGT but they are not affordable. Wish Ford would build more of them.

[98SVT - was 06GT]

I hope you guys who want to "drive one" or "Want one" have either grey hair, a ponytail, bald, or a girlfriend who is 3 years younger than you are.....That is a requirement for a corvette. Oh, I almost forgot,  you MUST not know how to drive a manual. MUST! It is not about fun, its about how you are perceived behind the wheel.

You forgot the 1/2 buttoned shirt and gold chains.

PS - The Vette is proof you can put lipstick on a pig.
I've owned 4 - My 54 was truly GM dipping it's toe in the water. My 63 & 66 were great cars for their time. My 85 was the biggest POS I've ever owned - I rank it below my Vega GT and far below my Yenko Vega.

[98SVT - was 06GT]

I would rather have an 05-06 FGT but they are not affordable. Wish Ford would build more of them.

That is the car places like Superformance should build. It's got the looks and is big enough for a real person to get in and drive without being a contortionist. The doors would need to be reworked so they are usable in day to day parking situations.
I'm sure Ford would not allow it though - how about a scaled up MKIV? You know the one that was all American built with all American parts and won LeMans with an all American team. How could GM claim to be America's sports car if that was build again?

I just sat in Winkler's the one time at NJ. It was claustrophobic. My head was against the roof liner.

If I drove it regularly, I'd develop a bald spot on the top of my head and there is no room for man spread!

He thought it should be an even swap for a '67 GT500. Oh really? Does he have my number? Maybe I can overlook the shortcomings?

All kidding aside, we should all be proud that America has produced a world class sports super car at a very affordable entry price.

The C8, the Z06 and the GT3 are world class
