I'm going crazy, I'm gonna hold out for an 08 for $30k-$32k

I found a White LS3 automatic, convertible, 21k miles for $31k, if it was stick, it would be mine already

Ideal would be a stick and convertible, color preference is,, not black

Still entertaining the Z06, cant find an 03 or 04,

If I could find one less than 30k miles in excellent condition, no paint or interior issues, with headers and cat back for $22k, I would probably do it.

The more I think about the $8k-$10k price spread for the C6/08, the more I think I can bolt on a SC later and call it done.

Don't get in a rush and force it. The right car will come along. Whatever you do, avoid the automatic. Unless you have to have it, autos stink.

That's how I ended up with an '01, I could pay cash and figured in a couple of years if it didn't do it for me anymore than the '08 or newer and possibly even the C6Z would be under the 30k mark.
