Why? So you can drive it sometimes?
If he wants a sports car, he'll buy a sports car. If not, he wont. If someone is not into cars at all they wont generate any additional satisfaction of driving a Z06 over a Merc c-class, especially given the significant price difference.
I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't want to drive it and tear up some country roads, but more importantly I'd like to do it with him. When I was a kid he had a Harley 883 motorcycle and we'd ride together on trips, probably the best memories I've ever had. He drove a 68 Mustang GT in high school, always comments on nice cars we see, and says I'd like to have this and that. I guess I could say I know he wants one, i'm just trying to get him over the edge.
I did look at some "halfway" cars as some of you mentioned, maybe I can sway him on one of those...he remarked he might like to get a hatchback, so I suggested the Astra VXR...240hp turbo :lol:
Thanks for the advice!
