OK, I know it's always a thing with me wanting a C6 Z06 like most here. But then when I think about what I did to make mine what it is, I can't bring myself to buy a Z06. I thought well, if I don't sell and just get the Z06 and have 3 vettes, it'll be a nightmare taking care of 3.
I know I'm never going to sell it and get a bath if that were to happen, and I wouldn't want to be bothered with the process of selling it. Guess I'm just going to have the desire for a Z06 but not the drive to make changes for it to happen.
Bummer....cause I know the bottom is going to fall out on C6 prices next Spring, heck I might even jump on the C7 wagon then and really be confused on which way to go.

My plan is similar to yours. Keep what I have and get a C6 Z06 or possibly see what the final product C7 looks like then decide.

I would like to get a C6 Z06 also, but like you, am not willing to take a big hit on selling my C5 and then have a really big car payment for the C6. My C5 is paid for and I really like that part.

I know what you mean, I've been entertaining thoughts of a new Vette. It's just the fact that I LOVE not having any payments. Ric,if you need another project or your just bored, I can drop my Vette or '55 Ford p/u off and you can work on them. L8R ZFLASH
