Price of the Chevrolet Corvette: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
20072dr Hatch 400-horsepower 6.0L V8
6-speed manual RWD		Hard to find a car near this performance level for the dollar.
Price of the Chevrolet Corvette: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
20072dr Hatch 400-horsepower 6.0L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		Costs quite a bit of money
20032dr Coupe 405-horsepower 5.7L V8
6-speed manual RWD		Can get very expensive with too many options and dealers are reluctant to discount the price, but that is changing as cars with large V8 engines get harder to sell.
