I'd get the Commemorative Edition. It will likely hold it's value a little better than the rest. I wouldn't even consider #3 because of the nitrous. A sprayed car = drove hard and put up wet.

I flew out to WA last night and this morning I test drove #3 and that car is amazing!! There is not even a single mark on the paint at all, it looked like it was brand new. The owner said that the car has never seen rain once in the 3 years that he has owned the car. So I decided to buy it, for 3 hours I was signing papers to buy it and I am paying for the car to be delivered to my house in a covered race car trailer, and I might add that is not cheap!! In the end I got the car down to $45,000 with taxes and lisencing.

Very nice choice, I'm green with envy.

I think the ONLY thing I'd change on that car is to shorten the shifter some. Other than that . Nice!

Actually the car already has a B&M short throw shifter, so I dont really have to change that either.

$45000 seems kinda high for a 3+ year old car that has been sprayed, thats C6 kinda money.

Personally, for $45000 I would hove gotten a new C6, or if a C5 Z06 was a "must have", I would have gone with the lowest mile one you could have found, but thats my opinion and you know what they say about opinions.

Good luck with it though, it looks like a nice car.

Alright this Vette is alot more powerful than I though it was, my only response for when I drive this beast is WOW!!. I got it dyno tested yesterday and they advertised at the dealership that without nos it only gets 410 to the wheels, but in reality it gets 443 hp with 420 ft lbs. of torque. With nos it dynos at 594 hp and 560 ft. lbs of torque which in my mind is fricken rediculous lol. Because my camaro only gets 330 hp and 320 ft lbs. at the rear wheels. Os it is a major power difference. Im takin my camaro and vette to Santa Cruz this weekend to take some sick pics. I will definitely post them as soon as I get back.
