I have only gotten to 230 several times in stop and go traffic. Not ideal but appears to be better than guys without the stock oil cooler they started putting on 2012 models.

2. It's new(er), and there are some differences, albeit minor. The average person might not tell the difference, but the average Z owner most likely could. I bought an older one because it's what I could afford (yeah, I know, I'm poor). There are pros and cons to buying new vs. used, but there isn't any point in getting into those now. Mine was purchased already slightly modded, which was risky I know, but so far has proven to be safe and reliable. Which goes to show that not all used vehicles are trashed before they are sold. 3. Depends on how much someone really wants the nicer options. Again, one can arguably use aftermarket parts to achieve the same or better equipment level for cheaper, but then again, it will not really be a "numbers matching" kind of car, which turns some people off. At this point, it basically becomes the same answer as question 2. At the end of the day, the newer car will be worth more in terms of resale, but much farther down the road, when these cars possibly become collector's items, the better option packages might be worth more. This is all speculation, but when looking at classic cars now, and how rare option package vehicles generally go for more at auction, one could assume that it will pay off in the end. Question is, are you really willing to wait that long?

I'm fairly certain my personal dumb question count exceeded 5 the first day I began to form full sentences. Being a late bloomer, this did not occur until I was in my 30's. I recall a few of the first few dumb questions...
What color is red? Why is that woman angry with me? What's the difference between a duck? Since I apologized to that woman, why is she even angrier with me now? Is this scotch or bourbon? Happy to contribute meaningfully to the thread!
