Per the if money were no object line....the crazy Brit that hosts Fifth 
Gear reviewed the Corvette Z06 and called it the best value supercar on 
the market in the world today:

I wish GM would put as much into all their products as they did the 
Z06.  I do have to admit that there's not much else that I would want...
maybe a Pontiac Solstice?

I didn't hit the lotto, so I had to settle for a C6 Corvette, the 
best  value 
in a performance sports car. And I just drove the 400 miles to 
Newport  
Beach, CA and 400 back - 30.2 MPG on the way there, 29.9 on the way 
back. My  wife 
and I carpool to work in it several days a week and I autocross it 
almost  
monthly. With the insurance pretty reasonable due to the anti-theft 
measures,  
what more could I ask? Well - Air-cooling would be nice! -  Seth
