What the hell kinda of question is this? The Z is superior in every category. You may be able to make 450 hp but the TA isn't as light,doesn't handle as well and is nowhere close to the WOW factor of a Z06

Exactly. Yeah a 2007/08 ZO6 is awesome no doubt about it but it's also $70,000 to $75,000 like the OP mentioned. Judging from what the '07s sell for its going to be worth about $10,000 less a year later. But if you have that kind of money to spend on a vehicle I would say go for it but if not then spend a quarter of that price on your TA and make it badass!

yea what kinda question is this? you will spend a fraction of the cost on the WS6 to go the same speed in the 1/4 but do you go to road courses and autox a lot more than drag race? If so then a Z06 would be your best bet, but if you just drag race it, save money and just mod the WS6.

I'll be selling my T/A within a year or 2 to get it right for a Z06

I forgot to mention that I live in an apartement. How would A ZO6 look parked in an apartment complex rather than a house. Heads/Cam/ Intake and gears are pretty awsome. For half the price of a ZO6.

+1
Everyone on here loves fast high performance cars and the ZO6 is awesome piece of work but a house will appreciate in value while the new ZO6 does the exact opposite.

I would go for a house! Perfect time to buy one and then worry about the Z06. I would rather have a house with a t/a than have a Z06 and live an apartment.
