thinking of switching to an 06-07 Z06

It's never about money with a sports car. Total luxury item. If you think you are going to ever "look back and regret" loss of value, then you need to stick with simple things like a used camry, etc. Cars are a horrible monetary investment, but I find them to be a very good investment in the fun-factor. I have less fun staring at money than driving a fun car.

I think you all may have misunderstood.

Lets say you buy a Z06, well, an '06-'07, not so much, but lets say a newer one. You are going to be upside down in it for a while and if you traded it in on a 370Z, you would add a few K to the price of the Z to account for that. You would STILL be paying much less for the 370 than you previously had been, and the bank might go for it.

Now, lets say you buy a newer Z, and don't like it. Now you want a Z06. A newer one. You are going to tack 5-8K onto the price of a $65K car. Your bank won't bite nearly so fast.

This is all assuming you don't do 1/2 down or something to begin with.

What kind of numbers did your TT kit put down? A Z06 can run a 10-second 1/4 mile at 129mph in bone-stock trim with an absurd driver. Most average guys run mid/high 11's@123-126. With him spraying (unless he was lying), we can assume at least a 125 shot. That would add about 10mph to a trap-speed if he hooked it up, meaning you mashed on a car that traps DEEP into the 130's, from a roll. 'grats! I am curious about the numbers yours runs at the track, though, as I have learned that anything can happen on the street.
