The standard price here was £70,000 for a C5 convertible, at least that's how I remember seeing it in Top Gear. Used values are crap because it's LHD and poor quality, never mind if it's fast or not
I am comparing it to my market because- NEWSFLASH- I live here!!! How about that! I'm saying what would be best for ME (P.S. ludicrous is not just a rapper...).
Most American cars are tanks- and yes, whilst the economy may be better CLAIMED I think that if you put it into practise, you'd find that, in cities, and on the motorway, the M3 would kick the crap out of a 'Vette for economy. A high-tech, 3.2 six plays a 6.0 V8 with... is it 3 valves per cylinder? I can't remember. Never trust claimed figures. In fact, Autocar state 26 mpg combined for the BMW M3, and 23 for the C5 Corvette, which has a smaller V8. Granted, the new car is lighter, but the Vauxhall Monaro with a 6.0 LS2 does an average of 17.6 mpg (Top Gear Magazine). It may be heavier, but the new 'Vette would still have a similar late-teens, low-twenties figure.
