Hate to get caught up in it and loose a bunch as most did with the 2001 ZO6, just because they added a couple horses the next year.

I disagree that the Vette is 85% of a Carrera GT. I doubt it is even 85% the car that a Stradale is, even if it is faster in a straight line. Seeing as how the CGT is 300% the car a Stradale is, this would make the value proposition of a Z06 at most 28.33%. This would make the performance value (excluding, cache, luxury, build quality, etc.) approximately $125,000. Still not bad for the Vette.
A Carrera GT is like a cross-breed between a GT3-RS and a McLaren F1 with some Boxster thrown in for good measure.
If you look at it that way, it's really a performance bargain and eventually will be the greatest performance steal for years to come.
As for the GT2, I'd rather have ONE GT2 than three American cars. Besides, the Vette will never have the cache of the GT2. If you disagreed with me, you wouldn't be hunting for another GT2, would you? Every time you disparage that car, you are always somehow looking for another one and it's the one girlfriend you keep going back to because the sex is so good even though she might not be as hot as the Ferrari on the outside. Hmmmmm....

I would take ONE Carrera GT over a fleet of Z06's in every color, and a free Suburban thrown in, as well as the aforementioned motorcycle.
A Z06, modded or not, will NEVER be anything close to a Carrera GT, that I can guarantee you.

I have been looking for a car to compiment my TT and was reading some mags about the new z06. Needless to say, it is fairly impressive on paper. My father currently has 3 vettes including the 67 stingray and a 78 pacecar so if I want I can drive one anytime. However, I have been recently looking at getting a 360 used. The problem is that a voice keeps wispering in my ear to consider this car. any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys.
