2015 Chevrolet Z06 Corvette convertible. 625 supercharged horsepower - the most powerful Corvette ever made. The power convertible top can be raised or lowered at speeds up to 30 MPH - that is seriously badass. A seven speed manual is available, or an eight speed paddle shifter.
Now, yeah, I know. GM. Government Motors. Bailout. If I hit the lottery, I'll find a way to swallow my disgust. Of course, it's a lot easier to be a hypocrite driving a 600 horsepower Corvette than it is in an Aveo. Haters can hate, but by the time they've got the first pithy epithet hurled you're in a different time zone...
Of course, if I did bring one of these home, I would need to find a track to run it on...
That is all.

Nice choice! I am thinking all black, but then it would be like driving the Batmobile. But that's okay.
BTW, tires for that car are said to cost about a grand. Each.
We can dream!
I have never been a Corvette kind of guy. The styling doesn't appeal to me.
Or I should say "didn't" because... damn.
There's one that roams my 'hood from time to time. Looks more like a supercar than a Corvette & I like it. A lot.
Maybe I should go ahead and have my midlife crisis now.
Not only are thoose super sticky exoti-car tires expensive but they only last for a few full burn outs, a dozen or so donuts or 2 Track days whichever comes first. ---- your milage may vary.
It's nice to meet someone with a proper appreciation of Corvettes. I saw one the other day, a nice one, towing a trailer with a motorcycle on it. My brain about locked up over that one.
I'm darn sure I saw a Prototype of that thing tooling around town.
(Alright, it wasn't the convertible. But it had that body, and a "Manufacturer" license plate.)
One rare, but fun benefit of living near MoTown.
I couldn't do it. I won the lottery, I'd have to buy something from not-GM.
I could raise / lower my Z3's top by hand at 30 MPH....
