Buddy trading in c6 z06, any advice for what?
So long story short, my buddy has had a c6 z06 for a while, its had sooo many factory defects that its been in service more then at his house, and to top if off on monday night he blew the engine driving it out of the dealer home. Dealer screwed something up, i'll post pictures later of the car with the blown engine. Warranty is taking care of it though, $20,000 engine. Well long story short hes fed up with the car and trading it in. Tomorrow were going to go test drive a new 06 Viper coupe. the non-vert ones. And also hes trying to look for like an 2000-2001 Modena with low miles, and im trying to talk him into looking for a used Ford GT. any suggestions? Price range $120,000.

I say get a Ford-GT and a blower swap, if he's the kinda guy that likes modding his cars.

I've heard of people having way more problems with the vipers than the corvettes.

I wish I had 120k to blow on a car. I'd tell him to save his pennies for a few more years and get an FXX. By then they'll be easier to get past shipping patrol. They aren't street legal but they are one of the fastest production cars ever... and it'll only cost him about 2.5 mill

If i had 120k to spend, i'd do 2 chicks at once.
