I will probably sell my 2004 Z06 to get a Elise. The Z06 is the best bang for the buck there is period. I expect my lap times at the track to be slower than the Z06, but lap times are not everything. There is always some one out there faster. I am an instructor at various clubs and I am no slouch. It is how you arrive that is important and which car will put the most consistent smile on your face. I have always been in love with the Lotus Europa and now I have my chance to have a modern version.
I do not belong to a Corvette club. I belong to Porsche Club of America, BWMCCA, NASA, SCCA, THSCC, Chin Motorsports and the Mustang Club (probably forgot one or two). The vette clubs like looking and talking about them. I do hang around a group of a dozen Z06's and a few C5's that we go track at road course circuits. Great fun.
jac,
That was a funny statement about the beer discussions. Mainly true. I have a Corvette and I don't drink Bud or Miller at all. I also know Bass Ale is better

. But the Irish do know beer as well and that choice would be a nice Guinness.

Also, I am not a red neck Corvette owner, since I am also into fine wine. I used to own a BMW and a Porsche.
