Most people who buy base model vettes are middle aged to old guys who want softer handling and such so they don’t break a hip if they have to drive up Wehrle, and are willing to sacrifice a little turning performance to get it. This is for the buyers who aren’t, but don’t want to spend the extra 30k on a Z06. It already exists now for the most part, as the Z51 add-on package on regular vettes. Also, there’s people like me who won’t buy a manual. This is the best performance vette you can get in auto. ---

Zo6 has no convertible option so this could workout for some people. Also as for BMW, back in January they laid off 26,000 works and was applying for government aid if I remember correctly.

Arent those functional brake ducts? And thanks for the auto approval 🙂 Considering the performance options are quickly disappearing I wonder how long you’ll be able to get good deals on sports cars though… ---

BMW and most of the other European manufacturers have received a ton of money from their respective home governments. OT: the car looks god, but I also question the need for so many models of the same car. ---

I hate how 90% of them are white, black, silver, or red. Those first 3 colors are automatically disqualified for me, and my last 2 cars have been red. I want something different. ---

Yup on the 2010 Corvette. Couple of other neat things for 2010. There is a new model, the Grand Sport. It replaces the Z51 and fits between the stock Vette and Z06. Also, all colors will be available on all models for 2010. And you can now get comp gray wheels on the ZR1. > **[\[VIDEO\] 2010 Corvette ZR1's Performance Traction Management System - Corvette:...](http://www.corvetteblogger.com/2009/04/27/VIDEO-2010-Corvette-ZR1s-Performance-Traction-Management-System/)** > > In addition to the new launch control system coming to all manual transmission Corvettes in 2010, there is another new feature coming exclusively to the Corvette ZR1.
