I'll wait when it drops value by 30-40% in the first 6 months.. hehe...
Z06 and C6 used prices I have now seen for $38k hehehe..

I've seen C5 Z06s dip below $30k.
Maybe the C6 Z06 will keep value better while demand is high.. but it will drop like a CHEVY.. drop, LIKE A ROCK.

So what. Audi does great in its class. Doesn't mean I would run out an buy one. I did once buy a TT, but it was very dull and didn't last long. In fact, I took it back to the dealer and let it sit on the dealer's lot for over a year of my two year lease because I never drove it, did not want to keep insurance on it, and was so upside down I could not trade it so I just parked it at the dealers lot and escroed my remaining 13 payments.
I have driven the new Vettes except for this years model and I don't recall ever driving a Vette that had a tranny that felt as nice as a 996 tranny. You really don't believe that the Vette motor is as good as a Ferrari motor do you. Performance per displacement, sound and engineering in the Ferrari motors since the 355 models are works of art. Yeah, they can be a pain, but they are definitely works of art.
Its not so much the brand as I really don't like the way the car looks. The front end looks okay, but then again they copied Ferrari styling cues. The rear end still look bad.
BTW, I would have a GT40 and I own a GMC Yukon XL Denali so I am not opposed completely to American cars. And its not all about performance. If it was, no-one would buy Ferraris (except for the super Ferraris like 288 GTO, F40, F50 and Enzo).

I think their motor and tranny work just fine as they wiped out the competition in their class in 2004.

I don't understand why people have such hangups with a certain "Brand". This is a badass car that will kick a stock tt in the fanny straight or curvy road.
I am not saying I want this over a tt but I certainly can appreciate a car of this caliber at this price without being hung up on the fact it is a Chevy.

yeah I've run across a nice used Z06 twice.. and each time I gave it a chance, I always came away disappointed (not at the power) but the feel.. and that horrid interior. So I got something else.
I really couldn't see myself driving it daily.. maybe just as a dedicated track car. Which someday a used C6 Z06 could be...
So yeah both times I chose a Boxster S, or a diff. car. The car just isn't for me.. perhaps the C6 will change my mind, especially the Z06 when the time comes.
