Z replacement

jlo370z · 10-10-2014, 04:35 PM

I love to plan for the next car. im guessing I will have the Z 2-3 more years then upgrade to something I will have in the garage for quite some time.

I have been thinking about it a lot lately as, I will have to plan for this one financially because its going to be my garage queen.

that being said this is my short list.... subject to change frequently.

C63 AMG Coupe
Corvette Z06
Aston Martin Vanquish (used)
BMW M6 (slightly used)
911 GT3 (slightly used)

Couple of things.... I am not a fan of the Vette scene, but that car is a beast. The C63AMG not sure it would have the staying power,will wait to judge it when the finally release a coupe version. The Aston, its my dream car. I have a friend who is a GM at a Aston Dealer and im sure he can get me into a very gently used one. BMW M6 like the AMG, not sure it does enough to draw me in and keep me there. the 911 GT3, its a bad *** car. Also not a huge fan of used cars. on the aston i know those are not typically beat on, more of a gentlemans car. Suppose I could look at the Jag F type too. and before you ask, I use to want one, but I no longer wish to own a GTR. they are way to common here and unless it comes up with a huge refresh not on my short list.

Cars missing?

anyone else like to plan for the next? whats on your short list?

Just a point of reference, you want something uncommon, but all the cars you list are more common than the GTR. If you are not a fan that is cool, but GTRs are not that common, if I go to Las Vegas, Phoenix or LA metropolitan areas you will see the cars you listed and many which are twice as expensive as well.

you dont live in Chicago I take it. I see more GTRs then i do 370zs. they are every where out here. So are vettes. The other cars on the list not as common though the M6 and C63 could be confused with other models i suppose you could say the same for the 911, though you see a lot less 911's then you do GTR's,M6 or C63s in our neighbor hood.

as far as common goes in my area

Vettes Large lead
Gtrs
M6
C63
911
Aston

If I go searching them out or get closer to the city im sure I can find more of those and much more, but I dont in fact I cant stand Chicago and have never been there with my Z and im only 40 miles from it. I say that but on the 26th pending weather ill be heading to soldier field for a C&C event

I'm back and forth constantly between the 5 boroughs of NYC, Long Island, Tri-state area, Greater DFW metro area of Texas as well as Austin, Miami/ft Lauderdale and eastern Puerto Rico. There are more 911's and BMW 3 series than anything else from these major areas.

NYC, BMW and Mercedes is driven more frequently than accords and camrys. I've never seen more than 2 GTR'S in a week. 911's are practically a daily occurance.

Nice list.
Alfa Romeo 4C turbo (if and when it comes out)
Audi R8 S
No on the Vette unless it is a Hennessy or Callaway.

we have two Alfa's running around in chicago with MFR plates. I think that car is to purposeful, if i had canyon roads it would be on my list.

The Audi, and I stand alone on this most of the Time, but I do not think its a good looking car (ducks and hides)

I cannot afford the Aston I would want, and the V8 version left me wanting a lot more when I drove it. its a shame really love the look of the aston.

But the deals that are out there on Vipers, I could not pass this up, such a steal!!

lol I can't afford half a Viper much less an Aston. I can understand your hesitation to spend a lot on something that doesn't quite do it for you.
