I really do not know BUT I would suggest buying the one you like the
best and saying the hell with maintance costs....

Enjoying a car is what it is all about the money spent enjoying the
car is honestly not a factor (within reason that is..)

I can tell you that I spent the weekend at Carlisle ...and Corvette
parts were all over the place...as far as the stealth being rarer is
most likely caused by the general public lack of interest in the car
itself..

I have owned a 95 Corvette for the last 6 years and never had to
replace anything except the normal tires, brake pads, oil filters
etc... What Maintance..? Seriously I have spent almost nothing on it
but do go over it very carefully every spring and fall...as I do all
my cars.
