It is all a matter of what you like Antonio, for a guy like Ernest (a big guy) the SKY is too small. But like me, you are not that big and would get lost in that cockpit. I like a car to fit around me, not for me to be all loose inside the cockpit. To each his own, of course, I would go test drive it before you go one step further.

As far as the Gas specs.........yea, if you believe 26 Miles to the gallon, I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. You would have to drive that car like grandma with no near redline acceleration to get even close to that. Remember you are talking an 8 cylinder, unlike a turbo 4, there is a very big difference in gas consumption the more you get on it!! One of the owners of my company has a Mustang GT500. His mileage is supposed to be 14/20. He gets about 8 miles to the gallon when he is getting on it!

The other major factor is a safety one. This is a powerful light car, if you start to loose the ass end of that vette, you will not recover it as easy as the SKY. Ernest understands what I am saying, I bet.

I wish you luck with your decision, I agree with you that the Vette is built to race and the SKY............the verdict is still out, but it is not a race car, it is more of a cruiser. If you are aware of all your costs, you test drove it and love it, then Godspeed and enjoy, that is what we all work for is it not!

Hell if GM Survives, I am looking at a Camaro Z28 in the near future!
