Default GTO for a Vette

So... I have a 2005 gto Black/ Red interior M6 with the 18's 1 of 124 made (~2900 miles), but recently I came over the mindset that I would really rather have a z06 vette... I'm looking for something pretty stock z06 but something in high $20's range, can anyone find me a good deal? Also, anyone tired of their little 2 seater and want something a little more practical I would consider a trade LS2 GTO for a Vette let me know if anyone can help me out.

Doubt anyone will go for the trade in this section, but who knows, I've been wrong before...Anyway, good luck on the purchase. There are a lot of good deals on Z06's right now, just have to find them. I think for the (non-rich) it's the absolute best bang for the buck. What year are you looking to purchase? Are 01's OK with you? Do you have any color preferences? Tell us what you're looking for and we'll keep our eyes open.

Couple more:

Check these out; all look pretty clean! If you could go up into the low/mid 30's you could potentially get one with super low miles (<10,000mi)
