A few years back I bought a then new Shelby GT 500. I didn't look at it as a mid-life crises at all, but rather a reward for all my hard work now that I can afford to own a weekend car like that. Having said that, the thing flat out SCREAMS and is KICK ASS to drive! It's street legal, very dependable, has a kick ass stereo, A/C and will run 10's all day long at the track. Absolutely LOVE it! If a Vette's your thing, then by all means enjoy!

A word of advice though - the dealers will be asking $$$ THOUSANDS above sticker (Maybe even $10K as they were with SHELBY's back in '07). What you have going for you, that I didn't, is the Stingray is not going to be a limited production # car but it will be limited in terms of supply & demand initially. So, if you can possibly wait until the hype dies down a bit, you'll be better off price-wise. I had to wait two years before the dealers stopped the excessive gouging, but it was well worth the wait!
