I'm about to make my dream car purchase and upgrade from a Ford truck. Is anyone else wrestling with this decision? Which one to buy between the C6 Z06 and the 997 911 Carrera S Coupe?
Z06 Pro's:
Unbeatable performance
Huge Badass Style Factor
Relatively exotic
Better Value per $ at $60k
Maintenance/Repairs relatively inexpensive
Most options are standard
Z06 Con's:
Questionable GM build quality
Styling may become dated sooner
Not very stealth (perhaps too "in your face")
Inconsistent dealership quality
Faster depreciation?
Carrera S Pro's:
Close to Z06 performance, unique handling characteristics
Beautiful and Classic style (timeless)
German build quality/reliability
More "stealth" than Z06
Dealership experience generally a cut above Chevy
Slower depreciation?
Carrera S Con's:
Very pricey (comparatively worse performance per $) at $80k
Maintenance/Repairs very costly
RMS engine problems
Options add up VERY quickly/nickle and dimed for everything
