[QUOTE="Purvis, post: 2906873, member: 29683"] Thanks!... I know its no Ford, but the Z is great and Im really enjoying it.. [img]http://mywebpages.comcast.net/chrispurvis/ZO615.JPG[/img] The Bull shit thats going around on the internet, is more than just rumour.,. Believe me.. My reserved spot for retail, was actually canceled by my dealer.. Then they wanted $10,000 over retail, after we had agreed on "Retail" several months earlier.... :dw: I went to 20 or so other dealers in person, and got the same BS.. Sometimes worse even.. I then realized that it would be quite some time before I was going to get one at a price I would feel good about paying (at or below retail).. Probably over a year after they were released, at least.. So, that would have left me waiting until 2008.. :sleeping: Then I came across the beauty.. $29,000 grand, 6,000 miles.. Perfect car.. Its probably just as fast (if not faster) than the Shelby will be, and it will outhandle it easily...Which leaves me with the option to maybe do some roundy track racing with it.. They do run 11's stock, (most need DR's though). see here for times: [url]http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1132866&forum_id=49[/url] This is exactly what I wanted... I wanted a car that I had to do NOTHING to. I did not want a car that I had to swap pulleys, and exhaust, and then get a tune :nonono: .. I've been doing that routine all my life, and I needed a brake from it, and worrying about aftermarket parts.... I wanted something reasonably fast out of the box.. This fit the bill.. But you're right though, I completley caved in! LOL! No more fighting for me.. at least for a little while. I have alot of respect for the 03-04 Cobra's and I know many typical Bolton 03'/04' Cobras will beat me at the drags, even if I do run 11's with it.. But honestly,I dont really care. :-p Like I said, I just wanted something fast, stock and fun... I may still get a Shelby, but Im going to really have to like them ALOT, in person and when I drive one, to want to sell my 94 and and pony up for the cash..
