That's the key point here. You know you have a solid Evo, and the last of the 4G63. You'll be able to find new Corvettes at a later time, or at least used ones in better condition that aren't beat to sh*t.

You'll be able to find a new Evo at a later time as well. The 4B11 is quickly proving to be just as power worthy as the 4G63.
Keep the Vette dude. 7.0L > 2.0L (here comes the displacement arguments!).

Damn... I'd be leaning towards the 'vette, but I just don't know. I couldn't do it. Good luck!

I have driven a 2003 z06 vette it was okay. I vote evo nothing like pulling up beside someone in a 4 cylinder and smoking them.

I vote Evo, for the same reasons macPSU stated. It is not too hard to find used vettes, but there are just not a lot of used evos out there, especially ones with no surprises (like the one you already own).
Most of the people I see driving vettes are older / middle age men who drive like grannies, so I can't imagine it would be too difficult to find a used one in good shape. On the flipside, cars like ours almost always seem to be driven way more spiritedly (sp?) and by relatively younger drivers, hence the fear of the "used Evo".

I've seen WAAAAY too many Vettes in MKE and not much Evos around here. Keep the Evo unless you want to hang with the old/semi-rich guys that drive a base model Vette and most of those guys have a drop-top (sorry, just not a big drop-top fan)...... Unless you also are an old/semi-rich guy that loves drop-top.

HE'S GOING TO GARAGE IT!!!
I honestly don't know why you would garage a rally derived car. It's not like the fenders/quarter panels are going to rust.
