I hear you. This one in Springfield only has 490 miles so it's one of the lowest in the country. I feel rushed to go check it out. Due to that they want a premium price. I did a search on Ebay and found a few Z's for quite a bit less in the Chicago area albeit with more miles and some of them have been modded/ basterdized. There are alot more standard vetttes than the Z06 for sale particulary for the 2002-2004 model years so my selection is a bit limited within driving distance. I'm going over to Springfield Saturday to see what they say.

Hey Adam. Here's a link to the site I was regularly checking back before the Boxster decision.......It's a great gauge of the Vette market....

I don't think you're crazy at all. I've often thought of adding a Z06 to the stable. Nothing like the feel of a high horsepower Vette. I've had several Corvettes since the mid 70's and will always have a soft spot for them. I'm holding out for a C6 Z06. 500hp and the best looking Vette by far.

I would buy a Z06 in a minute...no need to rationalize your decision...different car than a Porsche but very respectable. Drove one last week and was seriously impressed...loved it. "DO WAHCHA LIKE"...

Normally, a lightly used Zo6 is a real bargain, when you consider price to performance. Pretty good value and of course, one ALWAYS gets a PPI before purchase.
