One reason I wanted to unload the evo was because they were becoming affordable! Tri state tooners are getting ahold of them and destroying the evos!

I guess since I bought mine in this price range, I have a different opinion. Personally, I like having the option of buying an s2000 for 9k or an evo/sti for 15k.

but I'm cheap and care little about exclusivity or appearances.

dont get me wrong ... I get all giddy when I see a sweet car. However when it comes to paying for something, I try to put that on the back burner.

z06 is probably the best performance/$ you can buy, the next step up from an evo .. in some ways

I like the EVO better because its more versatile... but the Z is a great performance value.

Its hard to tell which, but considering <25k z06's are common, vipers go for 30k and even a gtr can be had for <60k ... it might be things bottoming out.

Yeah, I don't want to own a second car just to get to work in the winter or to transport stuff. Although, I would certainly drive the 'vette in the snow if blizzacks worked well enough.

yeah but vipers and GTR's haven't dropped in value over the last few years like Z06's have. Back in 07-08 you had FI C5Z selling for mid $40k. NOw those same cars are LUCKY to fetch $30k.. most are selling for around $25k with 700whp and a list of mods that reads like a jegs catalog.

haha, I like your ambition, but low ground clearance + bottom feeder = you ain't going anywhere in the snow.
