As much as I like the C7, I don't think I want a first production year of anything.

Have you considered this, the Hennessey GTR? My neighbor has one, way cool.

I'd be hard pressed to buy the first year of the C7 with all of those nifty new gizmos and gadgets. The Jag would be a nice ride as long as it doesn't follow in the Jaguar tradition of reliability.
Not absolutely set on anything yet Bryan. I just know that I want a new two seater for sure.

Sorry Jon, yes the GTR is a rocket but I have never bought a Japanese car, don't know if I could

That should take quite some time considering how much of it you've probably consumed in the last few months..............Sounds like you're really getting into the Mexican way of life.......WW

It's a tough life Wayne, but someone has to do it and as Kenny Chesney so eloquently wrote..........

"The sun and the sand and a drink in my hand
With no bottom
And no shoes, no shirt, and no problems,
No problems".

Thanks Wayne. You need to go there to really experience the laid back life. Your only problem you'll ever have is who is getting you the next ice-cold beer

With my luck, I would buy a place just up the street from a "Drug Cartel", get them pissed off at me, and I'd be shot and killed within a week.....Then I couldn't drink ice cold beer...ever.......WW

Rocket is putting it mildly. Got a ride in his, freaking incredible. But if you want a piece of British technology that England's biggest DB Jeremy Clarkson likes and almost killed Dick Van Dyke, go for it

I'm tempted to pick the jag, but the V8 msrp's at $98k in the USA- I'd probably just got for a C6-ZR-1 personally.

Well, since we're waxing country here...I think it was Tyler Farr that said...

"Well he can't amount to much...by the looks of that little truck....."

So what is it you drive in ol' Mejico??
