I'd have to go with the Vette. My old man had a Corvette with similar modifications, and it was an incredible car.

Some of you guys think Evos are much more car than they are. That Z06 is the better car and will always be worth more.
I'd go for the trade.

Dude look at the future, With the right mods and right tuners you can have an "any car destroyer". My guess would be the mods for a vette would be more than the Evos. Besides Evo owners are more friendly than MOST, notice how I said most vette owners. I have seen some really sick Evos out there, and the only thing I have seen sick on a vette is the exhaust. LOL. KEEP THE EVO!! Also aren't Vette's known for problems, leaks, diff probs, etc.? The only real major prob I have heard about with Evo is the clinking and clunking when backing up, but you would hear that with any racing suspension. EVO EVO you will have more fun with the Evo.

i disagree. i think the evo 8/9 will hold its value like the supras do. if the evo x falls flat. prices will go up

Keep the Evo they are cars you rarely see around, also why do you think he wants to go back to an Evo. Evo's are so much more exciting to drive around than a corvette. You also still have warranty. I'm sure he's your friend, but with that power I'm sure it's been abused or driven hard.

that is, IF the evo X falls flat. the whole point of the evo X is to sell more cars and i'd put my money down that the evo X will sell more. it makes the necessary concessions to move more cars (added perceived luxury, a non-manual transmission, even a catch-y name like "X") so i'm sticking with my guns. the evo X will have more broad appeal and the 8/9 will probably be swept into oblivion in the near future.

and yes, you could make an evo a 911 turbo killer, but that's not the point. every car is a different experience and being better than a particular car, while very cool to show off about, isn't nearly as important as how much fun you'll have just because the new car is different. how much fun would it be to wring out a variety of good sports cars? probably more fun than just wringing out only one.

for the price you plan to pay to get into such a different vehicle, i dont think that anyone has made a compelling reason to not do it. shoot, get bored with the ZO6 in two years, sell it for a good price, pay $5k for another different and fun car.
