There is a distinct price delta between the H2 and new vette's.
Why are you comparing two completely different vehicles anyway?

Are we talking about the H1, or the H2. I like the H1 better than the H2 and the vette.

I'll take both.
The H1's start at around $95K.
A well-loaded Wagon runs near $125K
Easy to pick up 1-2 year-old H1's for $70K, great deal because you still get the depreciation schedule 179 deduction. Also most have barely been driven off road. Plus after 15+ years in production, they've got most of the kinks worked out.
Just be ready for $$$$ repairs. And most of the parts are either right or left sided and come primarily from Hummer/AMC.
Front calipers + labor: $800
Front differential : $2,100
Oil/fluid changes every 3,000 miles.
Tires $300+
My 911 repairs: $0

Oh yeah, bang for the buck the Z06 is the best thing out there except:
1. Everyone and his mother has one
2. Insurance is unreal
3. Depreciation is ridiculous
try a 2001-2002 Lotus Esprit. ($50-60K)
1. Reliable, yes, reliable
2. Great looking car,
3. Nice, full real leather interior- very little plastic fobs.
4. Lightning fast (4.5 sec) and easily upgradable exhaust, air, chips
5. Best handling in the world
6. Good legroom and headroom up to 6'2" (more than you'd think!!)
7. Reasonable resale.
8. Rarer than a Ferrari.
If I didn't have 2 years left on my 911 I'd be in that Lotus again tomorrow (I might anyway)

I have had my vette since 2000... Also had an h1 open top, the engine went twice so when the h2 came out i was all about that, did an even trade from my h1 to h2...
The reason i ask is my little brothers 16th b-day is coming up and my parents are going through some rough times and i was fortunate in my inheritance and what i did with it. Anyways i figured i'd help everyone out and give my little bro one of my cars. But i can't decide which one i wanna give up for the moment.

Your definately right about a z06 out handling a mustang, all a mustang is is a boat with horsepower, they handle like shit, I know I work at a ford dealership and drive them all the time!!! I think if some work was done to a Z06 like the work done to a cobra SVT, it would still leave a mustang way behind in a race!!!
