Should I trade my Z For a Shelby or 5.0

GTR maintenance scares me and used GTR maintenance scares me even more. It's a great car but highly precision

having owned a couple of them in the past, the standard maintenance isn't bad at all, tires are the worst part imo. Love it or hate, that black box is what makes buying a used GTR not such a hit or miss event. Provided you have a good dealer and GTR mech (luckily I do) I can have them download and read me the logs so I'll know if it was ever run with VDC off (deal breaker) how many times launched etc.

If i get a used one, as new GTR prices are to rich for my blood now, it'll include a 7 year, 100K warrantee on it and that is one car that will stay almost completely stock.

The biggest "issue" would/will be the lifespan of the GR6 trans. They don't work on them, it's throw away and replace thru the dealer, at 20K a pop. However, were that to happen out of warrantee, I could have it rebuilt completely with stronger internals thru Sharif at Forged for instance, for around 12-15K and end up with a trans that could handle 800-1000hp if I went that route.

It is an amazing car and depending on how "frugal" I'm feeling when the time comes, I may end up owning another one again at some point down the line.
