Like u said you'd buy a Ferrari if u had the money. My hubby prefers the McLaren. And when I make my purchase it will be the Porsche 911 Turbo S. Crazy expensive sure, but if that's what's on your wish list then that's what u buy.

Can someone mod their car for half the price, Of Course, but that's their money and choice. I'm always happy for the person whom does what they want with their money! May not be what I'd do, but it's their money, not mine.
It's not that I don't have the money for a Ferrari, if I wanted to I could buy one, I just don't want to tie up 200k+ in a car that only 2 people can ride in and I'll be walking on glass everywhere I drive it (Worrying). I live lakefront, and I'm actually looking to move into a 50+ foot plus boat soon for the family, will cost me much more than a Ferrari, but at least we can all use it. This is also why I can justify a Corvette or Camaro, just so much power and fun for comparatively little money. But don't get me wrong, I love Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens, etc.

Sorry, I wasn't insinuating you couldn't afford one, like you just stated its all about numerous factors to consider. For some it's just another toy in the toy box, with no worries or concerns.

Take it you haven't been to many high end auctions lately. Most of those cars sell for ten times the price they cost just a couple decades ago.

Oh no that's ok, I wasn't taking it like that anyways. My answer was more of a follow-up on my first post than a reply to yours. No worries .

Sounds like the z/28 is a better buy but the ZL1 is a nicer car

Huh??? Boys and their Toys is just a matter of fact, that's how life works. Why would any "wife" complain about her mans toys.

That would be like a man complaining about women and their shoes. Hahahahehehehe. That's just how life works! If a man is that petty he's definitely the wrong man.

I'm surprised this thread is still going. Guess the OP didn't get either vehicle...

Let's face it, we all got trolled. Z28 and ZL1 within a grand of each other, LOL!

Z28 would have to be beat to shit/damaged or ZL1 would have to be brand new.
