You have chosen wisely.

One thing I've learned owning all of my cars is "there is always going to be something faster".

Your '92 300ZX may not have a lot of technology, but neither does a 1967 427 L88, or 427/435 horsepower tri-powered Corvette. I think I'd enjoy having either. Not having technology isn't all bad. Technology IS a great thing.......When it works, or when the new replacement parts are still available for repairs. I'm sure an owner of the 1967 427 isn't too concerned about his SWPS, or his EBCM going bad......

I too am fortunate enough to have 2003 z06 and a 2017 GS. Both great cars but something about the Z , love it , hardly ever drive the GS. Congrats

The markup on the C8 ZO6 would have been the cost of the C5 ZO6 your just bought, GORGEOUS CAR ❤️❤️

On top of all, 3 years wait time for GM allocation.
