No because my car rides, handles, is faster & gets better mpg now than when it was new :D . Perhaps if I had one of the performane versions I'd feel differently :rolleyes: .

Imagine paying cash for a brand new ZL1. Could you still dicker with a straight face? Maybe get them down $200. You would have been the talk of the dealership for quite sometime. Meanwhile, I'd be thinking, "Gee, I could have got a new Yugo instead!" :lol:

Imagine selling said ZL-1 for cash. :eek:
Don't know what I'd do with myself to find out my car is worth at least a half million bucks! Talk about an investment.
Of course, a third production ZL-1 would seriously devalue the other two.
:rolleyes:
And besides that, it's not stock!

Yep...I'd buy the ZL-1. Of course, if it was 1969, I wouldn't have arthritis in both knees, so driving a stick would be no problem.

I attended the Meat Loaf concert on New Year's Eve. Apparently, there are a large number of people who already ARE "back" in the 70's. Maybe I should have asked one of them to pick me up a new vette... :)

I would have added a 454 from the start. Other than that, it's great the way it is.
