Like I said in a earlier post. I'd go with a C6 Z06 just for the preformance, thats it

after my C5??? what the heck???
I plan on always having my C5... but also adding a nice silver 1961, a drop top 65-67, and of course somewhere in there a new C6 Z06...lol ...lots and lots of plans yet to unfold! But always a vette, especially since my wife is hooked on them now too!

For me the one thing I really miss about my Supra was the targa top, with a ton of beautiful days in fl it comes in really handy, and considering the new c6 z06 doesnt have one I may explore the word of the srt-10 viper as it still has performance and is a drop top yet doesnt cost a fortune (especially a nice used one). Depending how things situate for me I may try it out in about a year, but being only 22 (23 this friday!) I am in no rush.

if a targa or convertible z06 comes out, it will def make it a lot harder of a choice, everytime though i look at my Z it makes me think if its truly worth it to replace it with another car and have large monthly payments, my car is paid off
