Ironically enough, since I crashed my z in an accident I'm actually pondering doing the opposite move to ImporConvert and buying a z06. I was quite surprise to find used 2008 models in the low to mid 50k dollars, which is quite cheap. I'm a bit iffy about it though. mainly i'm uncertain if that crappy plastic interior will hold up or break apart, whether the cheapo plastic body panels wound break/crack/leak, any reliability issues with the engine or drivetrain or electronics, how comfortable it is to drive daily on bumpy roads with its stiff suspension, how it handles on rainy days. Probably won't be good on the snow so i'll probably have to have a winter beater. Also have there been any significant performance or reliability upgrades since 2008 or is it just the same car they're making today? ImportConvert if you have any info can you PM me?
