PS. Insurance is dirt cheap on American vehicles over here - my insurance bill went *down* from the Nova substantially.

How cheap are we talking here? I'm 23 and get f*cked in the ass over my insurance and I want Golf GTI so I expect the premiums to get ever higher!

I think I paid £880/ for my first year on the Nova, dumped it after 9 months and paid £640 for a year with the Camaro. When I changed it for the IROC (220bhp+) I paid about £120 extra. This is a 22 year old with zero no claims and 1 yrs driving experience! I paid about the same on renewal this year and got a quote for about £550 for the Caprice (200bhp 5.7 V8!)

If you are under 25 there are only two companies that do specialist insurance on Americans:
Adrian Flux - www.adrianflux.co.uk
Graham Sykes - www.graham-sykes.co.uk

I am with Flux - I heard they suck for claims though, but they were approx 20% less than GH for both quotes. I suspect that whatever car you get it will be around those prices - I didn't get a quote on a Corvette ZR1 but if I had 25 grand to spare I wouldn't really give a toss!

I forgot to add - if you are 25 or over it gets way cheaper - you can half those prices and it would be comprehensive rather than TPF+T which those are.
