I keep coming back to the idea of the Z06 myself. I am not of the "appropriate" age, demographic, or income, but then, I'm a different sort I guess.

If you buy, either go base, or go Z06. Just my .02, unless you want a 'vert.

I am looking long and hard at the 2011 Z06. I think a 1LZ in mid 2011 would be a solid move for me if nothing else comes out to compete with it. The trans issues should be fixed, and 5/100 is a VERY nice powertrain warranty on a 450rwhp car.

Decisions

Im looking at a 2010 GS LT3, cant really afford the Z06, I still have 2 kids in my pocket. The 2010 is almost 10K off MSRP.

Yeah, they are giving 2010's away right now. I just can't justify a Grand Sport for $50K when I could get a 2009 Z06 for $59K or a 2010 for $62-4K.

For 9-14K you get:

HUD on every trim level
LS7 engine
NPP exhaust
Fixed Roof Coupe
100-150# weight reduction depending on trim levels

So basically: stiffer body, 80rwhp, better sounding exhaust, and a HUD. Sounds like a great way to spend 9K!

Then, I plan on holding off until mid 2011 or so and getting a 2011 when they are giving those away (well, you can already order a 1LZ for 65K, I am just not ready yet.)
