Default Buying a Z06, insurance question

im a 19 year old college student and im thinking about trading in my 03 Mach 1 for a 03 Z06, hows the insurances for males under 25 in a vette of any type?

i love these cars and ive had no problems insuraned in Lightnings and mustangs so i hope the Z06 isnt a problem either, anyone have personal experience?

It may go down a tad, they consider the vette a safer car than most other AMERICAN made sportscars. At least when I sold my CAMARO Z28 for my VETTE it went down alot! That is what USAA told me.

Mine only increased by about $25/month when I changed from a liability only (96 suburban) to full coverage 04Z06 *but, I'm a tad bit older than you

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised

don't tell them it's a Z06. see if they can figure it out on their own.
