haha.. I'm staring at the window sticker mine had and it says $52k..not to mention the fact that I got $7k off the MSRP when I bought it.. Anyway it's still a corvette and you're still driving a CRX.. I'd rather lose in a 'slow' 11.5 second z06 than drive a CRX, no matter how fast.. I bet I could make a cardboard box run 11's too, but it'd still be a cardboard box. z06 = street cred.. cardboard box == bum cred
