It sounds like you're probably leaning that way so why not.

if it's an 06 or 07 then it's still got the T56 Tremec (good thing). If it has low miles then it's probably alright, I'm assuming the halfshafts have been updated as per the mods with 565+whp. Umm, I don't think you'll be disappointed. But don't forget, it ain't no Porsche.

The Z06 is by far the best bang for the buck , it does out perform the 996 TT in every way,I am sure you already know all this.I think you need to ask yourself one question.Why haven't you bought one before?,your the only one that knows if this car is right for you.I don't think anyone can really blame you for wanting more car for less money.
Don't get me wrong I really love my TT, but after some good seat time in the Z06 it goes to show the North Americans have made a Hugh leap in performance.....fit and finish...well we all know its not very appealing.Good luck its a real hard choice.
