Kelley blue book is largely based on depreciation formulas rather than real life. NADA is the better of the blue books but still not 100% accurate.
For the best real-life data, look at ebay motors with the "sold listings" filter.
An equivalent condition and mileage vert is for certain not worth anywhere near C5Z prices.

Hey, some people want a supercar, and some want a nice cruiser. To each their own.

Guys, this post/data is from April 2014...but just because I'm sitting in an airport waiting for a connecting flight home I checked in on KBB for some updated data; a 2003 Anniversary Edition Convertible for sale by private party is $18,365...a 2003 Z06 is 19,181. Both cars were with the "average mileage of 65K".
I'm somewhat partial as I have a Z16 but even this simple search shows the Zs continue to hold their value over other models. Bang for the buck, even 15 years later, these are great cars.
*EDIT...and my connecting flight was just cancelled so I have time to check other KBB price points...good times. I hate air travel. Where's my Z16 when I need it!!!!!!

Manual comes with 3.42, no options... can't opt for both unless I'm mistaken.
Point made overall, seems one could have originally spent more on a vert. Locally the Z sells for more at this time.
