Well everyone its official, im selling my SS. The guy is suppose to be coming up this Saturday to get it from Virginia. I put it up to see if anyone would give me what i wanted for it, and he is, so i might as well sell it now while someone wants it. Then after its gone im gonna be buying an 03-04 Cobra, but i will still be on the boards and everything. I just wanted to say thanks for everyone that helped me with all my questions and what not, and i met ALOT of cool people off this site too, and i hope when you guys have meets in the summer you wouldnt mind if a Cobra owner came..cause i would definitely still like to hang out with everyone..Alright guys, thanks again and talk to everyone soon.

Good luck with your upcoming Cobra. They are cool cars as well, but it's too bad you couldn't have 'em both.

Look hard enough and u will find them I got mine for $26500, the key is (I know its hard but) find a Z06 in like a Jeep, Kia, Saturn, or a dealership like that (any dealership that will have a hard time selling a sports car) and hop on it because they only keep them around for a week and then sell them to at auction, so if they know it will sell for $25500 at auction then they are willing to make a deal, they will make $1000 still on the deal. like my car was listed for $32000. I got my car at a Jeep dealership.

i went to the dealership today to talk to the guy about the cobra, and he said they cant go any lower. So the total for the cobra would be around $26,000 out the door which i do not wanna spend..Hes suppose to be calling me back, and im gonna tell him $24,000 out the door and ill take it..otherwise i will keep looking.
