Default What would you guys do?

Option 1: sell the c5 z06 and get an 08 c6

Option 2: keep the c5 and put the money I was going to spend trading up into mods for the c5... Buy a cheap daily driver

Option 3: keep the c5 and spend the money on a 2nd LSx car

Option 4: keep the c5 save money until c6 z06 prices start coming down, get c6 z06 in a year or two...

Option 5: Give the Vette to Crystal and feel good about being such a nice person.. lol.. just kidding

That's a tough one... go with option 1 or 3.

Right now it's my only car. I plan on picking up a beater in a week or two to daily drive regardless.

Go drive a new 08 and it will make up your mind for you. The new LS3 is awesome. I use my 08 as a daily driver and really enjoy it.

mod the z and buy a daily. You can still sell it at a decent price when your ready for a C6z.

number 4 no brainer!!!! Keep your z06 for now and dont put anymore money into it...Get a cheap daily and just keep the z06 clean and pretty...And in a year or 2 sell the vette and get a newer z06....then you will already have a daily and a new z06

^ +1

dont buy a new vette that is going to depreciate by the month. Keep the Z and get mods and a daily driver OR save your money and get a C6 Z06 in two years when they become really affordable.
