Default New Garage mate for ZR1.

The new Z06 is my choice tried to buy one less than MSRP but I have 2 Corvette's a 2008 Z06 and ZR1.
I sold my C7 with A&A kit and think I may go with a 911 Turbo that
was 15X,XXX new only 12,000 miles and loaded Carbon brakes
PDK and I think it frankly puts a *** whipping on any stock car I'm going to see on the street.
I see a ZR1 takes a full mile to catch one. They take a 2015 GTR out too!
For the $82-85,000 range. Car will not lose much more from this point. I'm thinking of branching out!

Nice choice! What year is the 911?

Keep in mind you want to make sure your covered under warranty with a Pcar. They usually hold up really well but when stuff breaks it can get real costly real quick.

Haven driven a few and ran with several (and I mean several), I believe the Porsche is an extremely well balanced machine. Great choice!!

Pics or it didn't happen :p

I hate you all by the way. Anyone need any employees that they can overpay and underwork? I could make a career change

But in all seriousness, congrats and enjoy! What year are you looking at?

997.2 and newer turbos are badass. That and the GTR will hold their value well.

I don't blame you. I have my sl65 up for sale with plans on buying a 2014+ turbo s myself. I've looke at similar cars and nothing seems to compare. I'm keeping my zr1 but need a daily beater and they are wicked! Go for it. Definitely get an extended warranty!
