I'm curious now whether the Vette or the Audi would have more maintenance costs over ten years of ownership. I could make an argument that the Audi would be cheaper.
The vette is bare bones basic engineering - if built well, it shouldn't ever break down either.

The Audi has multiple points of failure that if/when they break (electronics seem to have nasty failure rates) are going to require specialized service to repair.

The Vette - shit, most of the stuff that breaks on it you can repair yourself with a youtube video, a floor jack and a nice mechanics tool set.

Surely that Audi requires specialized Audi mechanics.

Er....this.
