Yeah, insurance will depend on if I have to finance any of the new car since full coverage is required by the lending institution. It would be more than I am currently paying for liability insurance on the Miata. And I really don't know much about consumables as related to the Corvette, so I'll accept your expertise. Still, I think I'd much rather pay for a set of tires for the Miata than a Vette. (Taxes would be substantially more as well)

At this point in time I'm still going with Plan A. I still have plenty of time to change my mind tho...

I don’t know how it is in the West, but insurance on a modified miata even starts to get expensive. Unless I’m one of the few who actually declares all of the modifications I’ve made to the car

Adding a turbocharger or supercharger to my car would near enough double the insurance at best. Worst case scenario the insurance company won’t even give me a quote and say “sorry, we won’t insure that”.

Could be the fact I’m 24 though....

Good point! I think I'll run this by my agent and see what he says before I do anything not easily reversed.
