Default used C6 Z06,10 SS,or wait for the Z28

I was wanting to ask for some suggestions. I am wanting a fast car again I and I have came up with three choices a C6 Z06, a 10 SS or wait for the Z28 next yr. I have found a used Z with the options and price I want but the same dealership has a 2SS with the options I want so whats your suggestions.

Depends on the package of corvette, and a corvette will, for the most part, hold its value better than a camaro.

Thats what I was thinking. I know it shouldnt be a contest really but I was just checking. I actually found a 07 black z06 with 19xxx miles, chrome wheels and nav for 41k. Im going tomorrow to drive it. Thanks

I got myself a Z06 and it is unbelievable.

The 06's usually run mid 40's. An 07 is high 40's to low 50's.

I chose it over a 2010 SS because it's about the same price and much more of a car IMO.

Not sure how the Z28 is going to pan out, so I wouldn't hold out for it.

Um, no. Not everyone sees the 'Vette as the ultimate weapon. To each their own. Besides, unless you're old, fat, rich and bald you don't belong in one. As for the Camaro, I don't know about that one either. I mean, its like a pig around the track so you wind up thinking about the 'Vette again. I say get a Ford just to **** everyone off...

Old...23.
Fat...No.
Rich. Not especially.

Is the Vette the ultimate weapon? No. But 3k lbs and 505hp for Z06? Best you are going to get for 40k.

Be real dude. The Z06 is a monster and there is no denying that.

the only real advantage to getting a 2010 camaro is
1. the 4 seats
2. the warranty.
and MAYBE 3. cheaper insurance.
otherwise, vette all the way

Zo6 all the way. Have you seen the camaro being built on ultimate factories? Plus the vette is actually aerodynamic. GM killed the aero dynamics of the camaro in my opinion. I am only basing that on looks I have no numbers to back this up.

The C6 Z or non-Z is an awesome machine. The show on the bowling green plant will sell you on one.
