I'm thinking about trading my mint 02Z with 5800 miles on it for a new Z.I do some stupid **** about every three years and it always involves a corvette.
Right now I'm looking at a 06 with 6 miles on it for 64k or should I do something newer for warranty and whatever else.

Let us know what kind of deal they offer you. I'm guessing $34-36,000 to trade. That's still a big pile o' dough.
PS -- They also have a new black 2007 for sale for just a little more money.
Good luck!

Rather than spending 64K on an 06, I'd suggest buying a new 08 Z with the factory warranty. I think some good deals will be available, what with economic slow down and the upcoming introduction of the ZR1 Super Car.

Thanks guys for all the responses. Just gonna keep my Z for now. The dealers were offering such stupid trade offers I wont even put down. You would think some of these idiot dealers would want to keep the economy going. Man there is a lot of newand used Z06's sitting on lots for sale.
Thanks again guys.

Get a c6z as new as you can get. The c5z is great but it doesn't compete with a c6z. Hands down get the C6z any way you can.
If you don't have 100k sitting around for a car, don't even think about the Zr1. I doubt you will find on at MSRP

Given how little you drive the current vette does it really make $en$e to go into debt for a car that will probably be driven very little?
If you want a little more power or to add something to your current ride why don't you look into modding your car.
You could bolt on a supercharger and do a few other things and have a car that is more capable than a new Z06.
Just some thoughts.

And you'll come out much better dollar wise on the deal.

I think outstanding deal.I know I dont drive that much but I gotta tell you this thing is amazing.Plan on doing a whole lot of that this summer.Thanks guys for some good ball breaking, I love it. Get it everyday from my wonderful wife. Maybe thats why i'm always cleaning my car"
And there is such a difference in cars. But I wont even get started on that.
