How many former Corvette owners
Just curious to how many of you Porsche owners used to have a Corvette prior to your current Porsche.
If you have both, chime in as well.
I had a 2005 Machine Silver C6. Beautiful car, but after a couple of years, it was obvious that I was missing the ride and handling of the Porsche. No regrets, happy to have had the car, but glad to be back.

I must admit, I love my C4S. Thinkiing about some mods, but I really like the whole stock look with small tweeks in between.
MY goal is to go for a Turbo in two years. I will put about 6K miles on my car in the two years, and it should make for a great trade in, or sell on my own. At that point, I may go for a used Turbo, as they are a much wiser deal than new.
By the way, really like the pics you took of the cars on your website link.
Stay in touch!

Owned several Corvettes over the past 20+ years (1969, 1975, 1994, 2000) but was (and still am) horrified by the C6 exterior design after the C5 I had (Magnetic Red over black convertable) was just so damn beautiful.....so decided to upgrade to a 996TT......tremendous car, truly one of the world's greatest sportscars.
Next car for weekend stuff will be one of the following:
'63-'64 Corvette
'87-'88 Porsche Turbo cabriolet
Ferrari 348 (or 355 if I can kill a couple of people for the insurance money)
Gen 2 Viper
