I'm looking to buy one and I'm curious about the actual diff. I know the Z has more speed and better performance. The question is if it is worth the extra price, especially for a 25 year old first time vette buyer? How many people out there think I would be happy with a hardtop with some engine mods (heads and cam) over the Z. Lets face it cornering is great but I wont be on aany race tracks except amature 1/4 miles. My thoughts go as followed, if I can get any of these good deals I go for what one I find:
1: A hardtop 99-00 (obviously) for about 30K
2: A 98-00 convert for 35k without the red leather interior and low miles
3: a Z06 for around 40K (think it is possible but I would have to wait until spring to buy this, don't have the extra cash for a down payment right now)
I love vette's always wanted one and just sold my truck so I can get one. Looking for some input from the people here, not just get a Z06 it kicks a$$. I have driven all but a 99-00 hardtop. I loved the Z06 it was a modified one and it was deff faster than a 01 coupe. But like I said if I get a hardtop I'm thinking heads and a cam on it should pull stronger than the Z at that point. I don't know just looking for opinions. Thanks guys, I've enjoyed the board the last month or so.
