I had a 02 MY Z06, was a great car all the way around. Then I traded to the CTS-V 04 black on black. The only problem I see with the V is that the rear is crap, and the car will not hold value for crap. If I had kept the Z I would have been better off as far as resale value the vett wins hands down. I like the V a lot and it was a very nice car, but was to worried about it going out of warranty and having to fix it out of pocket. So I decided to get out of the sports car world for a couple years and get a truck, I just bought a 2007 F150 Lariat 4x4 sand stone metallic, love the truck. I have a 06 R6 for the speed factor so no need for the car.

And before anyone says it I know a car is not an investment. But the V is the worst car I have ever owned that depreciated the worst out of all my cars. I will never own a Caddy ever again.

I was talking about an 06 z06 compared to a 06 v.

There is a comparison there?

...I'd never buy anything American made brand new. They all depreciate pretty fast.. CTS V -51k brand new and now 2-3yrs later and 20k+ cheaper...?

I just went from camd V to C5 Z06. Of course the V is a DD compared to my slammed Z but I will not go back to the V until the Rear issues are fixed. Its not reliable compared to the Z... It will brake

The only way to have the best of both worlds is to have both

EB-Z06

If I could, I would. Buuut its just not feasible right now. Being 24, working full-time, and school full-time doesn't leave room enough to pay for two LS6 rides

The Z is a great car, but I can only fit me and one other person. I also don't drive it everyday and would love to have a nice DD. I drive a Ford Ranger as my DD and I'm about tired of it. I don't drag race. I don't road race. I just want a piece of American muscle!

get a V throw a 408 h/c / or a maggie on the stock 346 and do headers exhaust / or spray the ls6

EB-Z06

Spray would be the only thing I could do right now

Keep the Z and dont get the V. Believe me I didnt listen and wish I had a long time ago, the V is a nice car. But the Z in my book win's hands down.

Heavy,
Truer words were never spoken. I just picked up my C6 this morning, the ProCharger is in. Off to the tuner this weekend, and then as a very good friend likes to say:
Porsche's For Breakfast, Ferrari's For Lunch, Diablo's For Dinner

The local car dealership has a 2004 plat. CTSV w/ 16k miles for $28,500. 100k miles warranty. This a good deal?

EB-Z06

TTT.. Anyone?

Its a good deal, they have a wholesale book of $33,000 so thats pretty decent. I am going to be adding a DD to my stable and have heavily considered a used CTS-V. Its a great performance bargain other than a used E39 M5. I don't know wether to buy a used one or wait for the LS3 or LS7 CTS-V to come out and lease one of those.

I really like my V, but forget keeping away from modding it.

I like my Vette also, but it is more fun to drive the V (most of the time).
