If would upgrade from a C5Z to a C6Z but not a C6. The 427 makes it worth it for a C6Z.

Tough decision for sure. Not tough when your buddy wants 60k though. I made my decision to stay with my c5z cause I new I would have to tinker with the c6z (another 8k) plus when parked side by side with a c6z I just couldn't justify the extra 20-25k.

If I were in your shoes & really wanted the C6Z,I'd kindly decline your friends offer and get an '06-07 Z06 for ~$40k.

He is delusional wanting $60k for an '08.

Redzone...dig the car in your Avatar. Is it a kit, Factory Five? That's my next project.

Never ceases to amaze me how people on this forum continually love to one up someone with jabbing smart *** comments. Nice work. You really need to feel proud of yourself I can see.

I never said anything about abusing the car, instead that is what you inferred. Of course forged is better----did ANYONE ever say otherwise?
