BOSS APPROVED!
Do not think so. Whats your rank? Insurance will kill you. Start from the bottom and move up. I know you want it now. But it takes time. Look into saving/investing before you start worrying about cars, you can easily have a million by the time you get to 65.

Forget the vette then. Look into investing. Have the investment company pull it out of your account automatically. This way you'll never miss the money. Remember start early. Look into https://www.fidelity.com/ or http://www.troweprice.com/retailHome...ilhome,00.html
you need no money to start. But you have to take the first step.

I just picked up my SS 6 months ago when I put on A1C...my payments are 380/mo for 3 years and 150/mo for insurance from Progressive. It def. drains the wallet but I can afford performance stuff...and i'm 23 y/o. I can't imagine how much a Z06 is for insurance let alone car payment. Listen to J Rod...you might get stationed overseas and can make bookoo dollars and get whatever you want when you get back.

you can get a 01 z06 for 25-28k if your plannign on financing it you probably wouldnt want to do it on the $$ you will be making.
insurance was basicly the same for a c5 z06 (2002) as it was for a 94 z28. (for me at least, i was 24 when I got the comparison)

you probably could but will have no money for a social life. also probably very little to put gas in it. go with something you can afford a E-1 doesn't make alot of money. if you do get one try USAA insurance it might save you a little. do you have any wrecks or tickets or anything if so it's going to cost you. ask your folks to put it in their name and you as a driver or joint owner. them you might be able to afford it. good luck

Just save some money for a while and drive a beater, you'll come out much better in the long run. I just want to see you succeed as I'vr had a couple of troops get into financial trouble over cars.
