#105 of 108 Re: Get The Vette, as old as a 2001 by vertical3 Jan 19, 2007 (5:50 am)
IF all the kids were out of the house and college then by all means I'd like a ZO6. As far as seating, the wife can slide up the passengers seat in the GT 2 notches and the 12 y/o fits fine with his PSP. Otherwise it would sit idle on weekends and I stay in the Expedition. IF I had owned 7 original Shelby's I'd be driving one, another in storage, and the other 5 would have bought me a place in Aspen.

Replying to: vertical3 (Jan 19, 2007 5:50 am) Hind-sight. The last one I sold, a '69 GT 500 convertible I paid $7,000 for and sold (in 1986) for 21K and thought I did good. Regarding the back seat of the mustang if my 5 foot 3 wife was driving a 12 year old might fit, if I, at 6'4'' was driving, the back seat would only accomodate a car-seat for an infant. I do like the new Mustang, and would rather have it than most other quick cars. Regarding value, read the Car and Driver road test from summer of 2006 comparing a stock C-6 to a new Shelby GT-500. The Vette won well in every category including price. Conclusion: from an investment prospective but a Shelby GT-500, from a better car prospective buy the C-6. From a dollar value prospective the C-5 in my humble opinion. Replies to this message: vertical3 (Jan 25, 2007 12:19 pm)

Replying to: 2infiniti (Jan 25, 2007 11:52 am) Key is to put (in my case my 5'5'' wife) on the right and the 12 y/o behind her. This scenario is the ONLY one where it'd be nice if he was of the age where being seen with your parents slides you down some on the peer ladder.......   By all means, if the planets would realign and my $$$ didn't go for replacing college freshmens totaled cars or 5 figures going to the dentist, I'd look damn good in a ZO6.

Replying to: johnevette (Jul 30, 2006 6:45 pm) I wouldnt say all Ford motors are garbage. I race my 01 GT at the track all the time and still drive it to work with the A/C on. Ive also ran my share of Vettes. They are truly great cars, but I think its just as impressive to get 475hp from a 281 cubic inch motor. And, by the way, 600hp is readily available for me as well, all it takes is a smaller pulley and tune....
