[QUOTE="662, post: 16308784, member: 161934"] I agree it's a very compelling car, but I doubt you will ever see a 40k z51 that has any warranty left, and [size=4][color=rgb(204, 204, 204)]by the time the car is 40k, you will see yourself on every corner, the Z06 will by out with real power, you will face stiff competition on road courses by GT500's, ZL1's, 911's...
