Thanks for the info guys...
As always, the members of the Z06vette.com forums are second to none when it comes to there love of the Z06. In fact, this forum beats the hell out of all of the other forums I frequent on the net, in terms of information and overall quality of membership and members. My hats off to you guys:cheers: . Now, back to the topic at hand. I know this is starting to get annoying to many who are already in the "know" with respect to Z06 v. whatever, but I want to express a few more of my concerns concerning a switch, so that I can get your opinions.
1st: Durability. I feel as though my 996 is bullet proof and I don't think I will ever have the car long enough to see a major problem. I am wondering about the durability of the Z.
2nd: Resale/trade-in value. Although the Z outperforms the 996 no problemo, it doesn't seem to hold its value as well. I am talking from the perspective of seeing the depreciation of the 01 z06 vs. the 01 996.
3rd: Next years changes? I know it is too soon to start thinking about next year, and there will always be more hp and torque "next year" but, when talking to the salesman, he mentioned a facelift for next year, and possible another increase in output.
Thats it guys (and gals). Those are the points that bother me with respect to trading in the pcar for a z06. I know the decision ultimately comes down to me, but I would like to hear some other opinions and perspectives. I take alot of stock in what most members on this forum think and know about the Z06; much more so than some of the foolish chatter on other Porsche and BMW formus. So let me have it, both good and bad points and critisisms! THANKS!!!
