Thanks

Thanks Blk.
...........
LT1 - My recent search ended with:

2001 Z06 16K Miles Bone Stock Clean Unmolested Car right @ $29K.

I see them now going for anywhere from 26.5-29K (and dropping).

I'd add 2-3K to that number for a 2002, then more for newer models.

........

Based on what I've witnessed over the past 3 months of watching "the market"..... if you can wait a couple more months.... do it... and land a 2001 Z for 25K.

My prediction.

I couldn't wait as my heavily modified mustangs would no-longer pass Houston Emmissions.... so I got the Z as a DD.

good luck.

BTW - You'll love it! I do.

Holy Cow !!

My 01 Dyno'd @ 430 rwhp mine must really be a ringer!!

J/K Guys - These discussion always make me laugh.

As said before - buy the best you can afford at that time. Every car no matter the make or model is refined in each year of it's production run. It's a fact of the automotive world.

Have fun with whatever Z06 you have or are going to buy!!!

I'd buy a 2002 simply because it probably still has some warranty left on it. That's something nice to fall back on when you buy a used car.

I bought an '01 from a doctor and it has 10,000 miles on it at the time. It now has 12,000 and seems to be very strong, but I paid over $30,000 for it at the time. It may be to much, but it is close to new condition. I think it depends on the car period. All these Z06 are very strong and yes the '01 is very strong with Vararam B2 and Magnaflow with X pipe, B&M Ripper. Good luck on your hunt!
