And as you've said the vette has good mpg which would probably cancel that out with other cars that i've mentioned in the long run.

Just a quick question: is the displacement tax applied only to individuals, or is there any impact on a corporation as well?
You're already on record as saying you'd rather have an R500, despite the fact that the C6 is infinitely more usable and has build quality at least as good as, if not better, than the Caterham. And people are under the impression that they lose nothing (in terms of reliability, durability, quality, convencience, etc.) when they go the TVR route. Well, that pretty much explains the stigma against the Corvette, now doesn't it?
