With winter tires the corvette would make the trip easily as long as the driver is sensible. At least hot girls would help me in a vett. When a beater inevitably brakes down(if it can even start in those conditions) no one will push me out a ditch.
I dont want to be told to get a corvette, I want to hear all the options, over the next 5+ years people will come to this thread for advice and im sure they want to know a few efficient, reliable, roadtrip cars. I dont want to drive a gas guzzler(i can afford it) for many reasons, but i know there are lots of really good cars out there that are Reliable, easy to work on, good value, and efficient. So far the list goes:
Honda Fit: 45mpg(realistic mpg number i could get)
Honda accord: 40mpg
C5 Corvette: 38mpg
If i chuck some 150,000km tires on the vette for $1300 they will last the car as long as i have it. So basically if i put down double what the fit costs their running costs will be similar.(oil change is near the same price, most parts on the vett are surprisingly cheap, the clutch is actually cheaper than the fits)
If i can sleep in an mx5(done it) then i can sleep in a much larger corvette.
