Talk me out of a Z06 please
 

I can't get the new Z06 out of my head. Im not big into american cars or american muscle. I currently have a boosted Nismo Z putting down 500+ at the wheels and I'm still paying on it but its getting close to paid for. Am I crazy for thinking about selling it for a Z06? And before anyone says it yes I could afford a new Z06 but obviously the payments would be a hell of a lot more than my current Z payments. Another factor is my Z will be due for emissions testing in a year and a half and theres not a chance in hell it will pass so I would have to get creative with that. What would you guys do??

Keep what you have and figure out a way (temporary or not) to get it to pass smog testing. It's almost paid off and is a much better looking car (my opinion of course).

Get the Z06, that's one hell of a car. I was entertaining the same car a few months ago, but they insulted me with the offer they wanted to give me for my NISMO so I told them to F$#* off and haven't looked at another on since.

Keep the Z and buy the Z06. Then you'd have 2Z's in the stable

Of course they are going to low-ball the hell out of a Japanese sports car. Personally, I wouldn't give them two cents for a Vette, ZO6 or not. The back ends of them are ugly, and the interior is absolutely hideous with very cheap looking materials used.

If I had a new ZO6 and base Z sitting in front of me, free for me to take, I'd gladly take the base Z every time. It's a hell of a lot better looking car inside and out.

Again, all of this just my opinion, however many agree with me.

get it. it's a much better car than the z

A base Z over a Z06???
No way in HELL bro, I'd give up mine any day if it were car for car.

Vettes are for old white males popping penis pills trying to re live their youth. If you fit the description then buy it /thread. Hope that's enough persuasion for ya.

;) forgot to add this emoticon before a bunch of oldies get upset with me :rofl2:

The Z06 is on a different level. If you can afford it, get it. However, for that price, is it truly the best car you can get? Would you consider a used 911 Carrera or GT-R? Perhaps a new M4?

There's nothing out there that with match the overall performance of a ZO6 dollar for dollar.
I like the M4, but it's a joke for that price and performance.

those new vettes are FUGLY, those batman rear lights gotta go

i read somewhere that they're working on a mid engine vette, it maybe a few years off but maybe worth waiting.

someone had one in MAZOC during the zdayz. we cruised a lot (he broke my dragon cherry and also witnessed a true muffler delete z on stillen's haha) and had the pleasure of watching the thing move.

let's just say it's better than the Z. it's like comparing uh... the Miata to a z like the z is to a z06.

sort of like Miata's can twirl easier than z's.

the z will get all fk me dirty while the z06 sits glued.

if you can get a z06, go get it.

and the mid engine should come out in 2017 i believe. to lazy to look for the article right now. within the next year or so my plan is to get a z06

c7 z06 is one of the most well thought out cars under 100k ever. Every corner and vent has some kind of cooler built in. it is insane fast from factory, and easily upgradeable (Supercharged V8 LSx need I say more).

I was considering what to buy next this summer the Z06 definitely made the top of the list. Came down to used 911 turbo or z06 vette. Then I decided to double down on my 370z.

I walked away from the z06 for two reasons... 1) vettes are all over the place. yea i know it a z06 is the hotness 2) they have a lot of social stigma associated with them. yes i am petty enough to care. 3) that rear end is hideous (functional but hideous). Can I get some round lights?!?!

I'd decided on the 911 turbo, based on 1) it is a $%"·$% Porsche 2) the more compact feel and design of the car made it feel right.

Then decided to stay with the Z for now, until I can afford the GT3rs I really want in 3-4 years.

Anyway, I digress. In short, if you are looking for best bang for the buck performance, and are willing to overlook the other factors others and I have mentioned. Then z06 is the way to go, hands down.
