Plus I would hate to DD my sports car. They are meant for weekends, nights, pleasure cruising and the track. Maybe take it into work on a Friday, but that's it. The idea of me putting DD amount of miles on a car meant for pleasure makes me cringe personally. Buy a beater for the daily duties.

As new as it may be, sports cars still need to go in the shop from time to time and then you're SOL until you get it back if you have only 1 car.

Just my
DAIZY has been my DD for 5 years. She’s not a garage Queen.

I guess when you put it into perspective either way it's a win. You could always sell now and just sit on that cash. Wait it out a bit and go and grab new Z in the next few months. I most certainly believe the new Z will be a superb platform to continue tuning and outright enjoying. I would be just so tempted to take that 36 and toss it on a C7. It's pretty much up to you and hope I'm in your predicament soon lol.

I put way too much time and effort into my Z lol. Though if someone offered me 30K for that thing, i'd take the cash.

A C7 Grandsport is something i would be tempted to look at. I'd JDM it (advans, clean aero kit, maybe a voltex wing if i end up tracking it). It seems like the best balance between performance and control.

Agreed lol. Porsche Cayman. R35. C7. C6 Z06. New Supra. Ftype jaguar. Just so many choices that I would consider. I would make the new Z my main choice but possibly not my only. If I was offered 30k I'd probably sell in an instant.

C7 Grandsports are costing as much used right now as they did new. It is crazy.

This is pretty much every car. Just helped my in-laws buy a CX-5. (not by choice, they actually needed the car). I kid you not, the used ones were MORE expensive than a decently trimmed new one............what world are we living in. We purchased new obviously and saved a couple grand over the used while getting the better interest rate. All I could do was talk down the 1200 mark-up. Paid msrp.

Oh, can't leave this off. You will bend a wheel with the quickness on a C7 Grandsport or Z06. Hit a pot hole and they are done. Been there and done that.

The wheels would definitely be the first to go on that thing. Ever since i got some ADVANs for my WRX, I can't go back to a lesser wheel lol.
