I could see leaving a Vette for a Ferrari or Lambo, but an Evo???? In 10 years time no-onw will remember what it even is...With a vette you a car with a legacy of recognition, value, performance, and a HUGE enthusiast base worldwide.

If that's what you really want to do, then OK.

enjoy your "4 door sports car"
You know there not that bad though, if they made automatics I would buy one.

To paraphrase Jim Mora: An Evo? An Evo? Don't even talk about Evo! Evo?

Yes, this is coming from an import owner. For some reason, to me the C5+ vettes seems like a car that have an ageless body style. I like 93+ RX7's, but Im afraid of the finicky rotory engine.

Can I buy your "2000" Z06??? I smell Barrett Jackson for a 1-off! 
Seriously, don't do it, you will regret it. If I were to get one of the AWD rally cars, I'd go for the STi or the Mazda 6 speed, the Evo just seems like a regular lancer with a bunch of parts slapped on it.
