I decided to take them off the car and put slicks back on it. If the slicks don't hook, then I know that I have a problem somewhere else. If the slicks hook, then I'll put the ET Streets up to sell.

True.

And the only cars I think can replace it is an A6 CTS-V with Pullies, Cai, DRs, cat deletes, ported snout, Corsa, and tune. Or a ZR1 with pulley, Cai, Corsa, ZR1 19" reps with DRs, and tune.

I wont DD either car and don't care about having a luxury car but it would be nice plus I could pay mostly cash for it since my Z is paid off. The ZR1s can make some serious power with little mods, but would make me have to get like a 30k car loan
A ZR would be legit. The V would be nice, but going from a car as light as your Z, to a car 1/3 heavier, would be a drastic change.

Ya that's true would be a big change in a lot of ways. I gotta do more pricing research to see what I can get a low mileage car like under 25-30k miles on a V and under 10k for a ZR1

I saw a clean 09+ CTS-V sedan in town the other day and it sounded like it was cammed and it definitely has me considering a V instead of an LS3 C6

I agree with above. A V would be a completely different car than what you have now. Especially something as light as an 06Z

Ya I'm starting to lean more forwards a V if I do change it up. Rather have a very little car loan than to redo a 30k loan again for a semi similar car. My payments would be nothing since I seen plenty of Vs 11+ with under 20k miles under 50k
