If i had 15k the thought of a new vette would be sweet but youd be stuck making payments for a long time. Or you could spend the same amount of money on the swap and have one of the cleanest/fastest looking civics around and be done with it. On the other hand you could trade in your vic for an rsx-s and fix that up. I'd probably trade in for an rsx but thats just me

many factors involved... but if you can afford the mainenance and gas on the vette (assuming you can if you are considering it...) then this is a very silly question. get the vette.

I think that the maintenance costs would be about equal with how much would be done to the K20 and the sheer size of the Corvette's LS2.

The 'Vette might even be less of a PITA since it's all factory performance.

well im with the other guy who said to get 15 grand worth of coke but thats not one of the options so i would say... how do you feel about your vic, if you love it but just want it faster than do that but if you want a different car then i think the vette would be a good choice. Also i sure as hell know i woulnd't want all that power in a fwd car but to each his own your about to have a shitload of fun either way (after you get done payin for it that is)
