yeah #2 would be nice for the resale...but they are all goina tank on prices by the time I'm ready to sell this thing. I think I'll end up with #1 b/c of the clear bra...not a chip on it.

I almost want to add more like Tony did with his Cyber Grey, his covers part of the hood and the sides I believe.

Plus the extra $2,000 can go towards a procharger or something

Why do you feel they are going to tank in price and how long do you expect it to take? Maybe I can afford one at that point in time! Ha!

At least in the regular C6, steering wheel radio controls became standard in 2009. I have the brochure at home for 2008. I'll try to look tonight.

well "tank" like any newer car does. It might be a few years, but prices have come down a lot...I think they'll hover in the general area for awhile. Never know

radio controls became standard in 09, an option the other years

car #1 does not have radio controls, but it has the voice and touch screen NAV.

Car#2 has the radio controls

C6 Zo6's are gonna end up in the 30k range... there are already plenty '06 models around and below $40k

Why not just get an '06 and save some jack?

The 3lZ gets cut off on my home scanner, but you can see 1lz and 2lz. 3lz is the same as the 2lz except you get the fancy interior like at the very bottom of the list (same box is marked as the 4LT coupe and vert).

I think you know what car you want.
Stop worrying about the last few hundred dollars and pull the trigger. Over 8 years it isn't worth not worrying about.
