40th annaversary, or 08 vette

carbonzbro · 06-28-2012, 03:28 PM

this choice has been killing me for atleast a month now....i test drove both, i love the torque and acceleration of the vette but all my preivous cars have been z's ( 350z primarily) and i love the zcars

2010 40th for 32.6k with 30k miles

or

08 vette 26k miles z51 package, cf interior trim, cf hood, unique "crimson" color aftermarket z06 wheels for 33k

i understand this is a z forum so it will be abit biased, but i am still interested in what the good people of the forum have to say

which would you choose

mustang

10splaya22 · 06-28-2012, 03:36 PM

It's close, i would probably go for the vette just for the torque aspect

you can't go wrong either way, imo.

whoady4shoady · 06-28-2012, 04:15 PM

IMHO, the miles are just a tad high for my liking on the vette. I dont like buying used if a car is over 15K

I often toy with the idea of a 'vette. The Z is better to me for my lifestyle, but I have always wanted the American sports car.

If you were to go vette, definitely get the Z51 package! It's phenomenal.

You can't go wrong with either.

864Zbeast · 06-28-2012, 05:06 PM

You should be able to bring the price of the 40th down with those miles. Also, my friend just got a 05 vette and it's pretty sick. If I was in your shoes I'd go with the z. Not because I have one but just because it'll last longer. If you want a vette get it new. Foreign>American all day. 2 of my other friends drive a new Camaro and mustang and the z beats them in looks all day long.

TerribleONE · 06-28-2012, 05:08 PM

Z... but I may be biased

280z/300zx · 06-28-2012, 05:14 PM

Since it has the Z51 pkg and all the other extras go with the Vette.

The vette would last just as long as the Z. LS motors are bullet proof and american quality isn't subpar. I hate when people still blabber about this like its an issue still.

Pisses me off when people make blind statements... ignorance

Tell that to my friend who had to unload a C6 Z06 with a hole in the block...

The Z51 package is really nice... I considered one myself... the 40th (heck the 370z) is pretty rare so they stand out a bit more... that being said the power difference is huge.

I agree a 40th with 30k should be priced around 30k... there was just one on ebay in the teens I believe for 29k.

Either way you will be happy.

EDIT: Found the ebay listing... what a sick deal... 7k miles for 29k. Heck you could even get it for 27.5 if no one bids on it in 16 hours.
