. With the money you will save in the long run (lower payments, tax breaks, save money in the long run) you can by the C6 and the C5 Z. It will just be a few more years.

If you could
afford a Z at the age of 20 would you buy one? Or save your money and spend it more wisely. Ill be in college still which is paid for by my parents. Yes im fortunate. But by then I could easily have 22K+ which would be a good down payment on a Z. Or should I save my money, and wait a few years maybe ill be able to afford a C6 Z
Just like vettes what can I say. My dad has a C6 Z and a 65

Do it. Im 20, going to be 21 in a few months and im selling my GTO to get a C5Z. Does your dad let you drive his C6Z? If so then you should definitely get the C5Z. My dad lets me drive his 07 heads/cam vette which is the reason why I dont care that the Z is a fixed roof, or that its an older model. Plus I love the look of the FRCs.

I would but thats just me. The only reason why I didnt get my vette when I was younger was the insurance! I would have been paying about 450 just for insurance, thats what changed my mind. but if you could do it now go for it, if you dont I just hope you dont regret it later.

I agree about the house, financially that is the smartest thing to do. You're still young. Maybe start out with a C5 coupe that is cheaper that has already received some bolt on's.

A conservative view...........
Well let me relay the story that I tell my niece's and nephew's ask 'uncle' dave how he retired at 40 y/o.
Save your money and invest it in something you know. At 21 y/o I followed my father's lead and bought rental homes in up scale areas of the SF East Bay area in the early '70's. It was an investment that I could put my hands on and was comfortable with 'sweat' equity.
My father taught me to be conservative with investments, both property and stock market. His lesson was 'let your money make money'. So my advice to you is to invest in something you know. Collector cars, art work, financials, property, antiques, ect.
