I didn't know these were in the same used retail price range as a similar year and mileage Z06... I would actually cross-shop it if the weight and maintenance cost wasn't so much greater I bet that thing sounds PHENOMENAL

Wish they had interior shots, they do some of the very best and very tactile interiors. Some had flappy paddles with leather on the front, suede on the back.

I almost bought one instead of my Z06 but the price of EVERYTHING to do with them is ridiculous. Motor is made by Ferrari, so nothing is less than $2500 and any serious issues get into the teens pretty quick.

Everyone is right, though. The interior is from another world.

Yeah, that is exactly why I didn't consider it beyond "hey, wouldn't it be cool if..." Just bought a 17k-mile 03 H/C/I Z on Saturday instead

Neat, good-looking cars...but fragile. They inevitably break with expensive results, hence the reason they are so affordable.
