Which would be more fun?
A Supercharged 04 6spd Z51 Vert or an 04 Commemorative Z16. I got the itch and cannot decide. Help

If it were me, I would get the supercharged Vette. That is if it has a procharger on it.

Depends on how you intend to use the car... weekend toy = blown vert, trackday events = Z16.

Of course, I'm partial to the supercharged vette's anyway but you need to decide how you want to use the car.

Suspension is much MUCH cheaper than a decent blower setup.

Yes, but that's not what I meant. A blower is a horrible idea for running HPDEs, and a vert w/o a rollbar can't run anyway.
Based on the OP's assertion that it will be mostly a weekend toy, then top down blower car wins all day long.

By the looks of your forum name, I think you already know what you want.

. Honestly though. Go with the car in the
best condition . A Corvette is a
fun car, but a Corvette with lots of issues is
no fun at all !
