Both of those are less fun cars. The STi because it's AWD, and the TT-RS because it's FWD-based AWD which is even worse
I'd much rather have an STi for the cost of a used Corvette, or a TT-RS for the cost of a new one.

Wait for the C7 to come out and the prices will come down even more on C5's and C6's.
Corvettes hold their value well but still drop until they reach a certain age. Mine is a 73 and is starting to go up. So keep it for 40ish years and you might make your money back... minus use and upkeep of course.
But yea bang for the buck Corvette's are hard to beat.
Nope, cars suck...you cant get any jobs done. Trucks is all I drive, you just always need a lot of room to haul stuff. Even if I had to choose between a Lambergini or a Rig...I'd choose the rig. ^_^
Z06 only. Base model has too much of a garage queen status symbol associated with it; it's like the domestic 325i that everybody parks outside their empty garage.
H/C/I day one.
my thoughts exactly
says the guy that has never driven either....
I personally would take an evo, but being AWD makes the car that much more capable and fun. I have both a rear wheel drive high'er hp and awd high'er hp car and the AWD car is more fun.

um ok
I would rather have this than a car or truck
back on topic. I want a base C6 and make it into an obvious sleeper. I would even put horrible chrome wheels on there so haters would roll up and see an old guy in a vette with a really quiet exhaust...After working on my buddies lingenfelter TT I have started to get jelous of how easy it is to get power out of those engines...
lol, I can't buy the lesser model of anything. Base model is good but why buy base when the z06 offers considerable more oomph out of the factory and serves as a higher starting point
The only thing that makes me think a Corvette is a status symbol is the automatic trans, which most of them have. For what other reason would a person buy a sports car with an auto?
Z06 is better but a C6 version will set you back at least $38-40k where you can find a base model for $25-28k. If the choice became C5 Z06 vs. base C6, I'd rather have the C6 personally.
Bad knees but still want a fun fast car?
a golf is not comparable to an STI.I've driven a Golf which is the same thing-- pretty boring. I haven't driven an STi but I really don't see the appeal of AWD unless you need it for snow. I'll test drive both those cars and get back to you... well it will probably be a regular TT Quattro.
More capability doesn't mean more fun... it often makes a car less fun. Being able to oversteer on the street is fun. Understeering your AWD front heavy car may be safer for new drivers but it's less fun. And nobody cares about your car's nurburgurgring time!

come drive my AWD evo (not a serious invitation ) and tell me it doesn't over steer.
who said anything about a 'ring time?

I'm guessing it takes much more horsepower to get the Evo to oversteer than a Corvette
