$65k? :lol: I’ll take a C6 z06, or hell, a 996 Turbo X50, or a very used GT3, or an Elise with whatever engine you can imagine, or an Ultima GTR, or 3 C5 z06’s or… well you get the point. What a waste. ---

> [@vq30de](#): > > I was fortunate enough to drive a brand new z06 this morning… Holy shit. I would love to drive one, but, I am glad I haven’t as I would end up single according to the GF if I buy one:meh: Wait, whats the down side, I loose the GF, and have a new Vette. I bet with a new Z06 I could get other girl, maybe even a newer model, like an 88. ---
