From the angle I saw, I have a hard time qualifying that as anything other than an uncontrolled slide at best.

The Jalopnik thing yesterday about used C7s listed for below $40k made me start thinking again.

I've decided I'm sticking with the FoST through next fall (unless someone drops the right 986S on my head by April), but current contenders doing donuts in my brain:

Mustang GT (not sure the GT350s will drop below $40k by then)
Camaro 1LE (perhaps even a V6 because I'm stupid)
SS
C7
F Type (there is 1 V8 listed on autotrader right now under $50k)

The V6 Camaro seems to be a reasonable choice these days, but.

Yeah, take it from my dad--buying a V6 pony car just delays the inevitable purchase of a car with the proper number of cylinders.

Also, buy the SS.
