Default Glad to be apart.

I am new to CF. I've been thinking about selling one of my babies and picking up either a c6 z06 or waiting until later this year and gettin "teh new" ZR1.
My current daily is an e60 m5 aw and my weekend toy is a lotus exige s.

I hope that i can retrieve and learn information on this forum to help me make my car purchase decision.
Ok, so can anyone suggest: zr1 or c6 zo6?
I am definitely going to mod the car but i am not sure what is already available for the zr1 or the z06. any kind of comment, suggestion or advise would be greatly appreciated. I am a nOOb so please help!
My buddy recently purchased a silver c6 zo6 and is loving it right now. I am super jealous because he is faster than both my cars!
So whatever vetter i am purchasing will be my daily and my weekend too!
thanks for reading! And wish me happy posting!

Aloha and welcome to the CF, that M5 is an awesome sedan, on your decision, the ZR-1 is new and there are no parts for the car although it will be using the LS3 engine. If you plan on modding the car then by all means go with the C6 ZO6 with mods it will out perform the ZR-1.
