Who has this kind of money?


My son paid more for his Grand Sport than I paid for my Z06!!!!

But does he have it stored inside with a strong security system?......

They have priorities

Yes, that's real & not a chop.

Buy another C7, low mileage, M7.
Then go with ZR1 nose, upgraded intercoolerS, all bolt ons, e85, you can get to 750 whp with a simple DSX fuel pump--not need for upper and lower at $7+K.

The C7 M7s have soul due to the man pedal, Chevy ****ed us with the C8 auto-only transexual thingy.

C8 Z/06 or take the bus.

But first you need to update the physical security in and around your house.

Driveway rocks are an absolute minimum. You'll be able to lift and move them as needed, but thieves will not.

There's very few manuals available.

Only 6 M7 Z06s in a 500 km radius.

Going to look at a 2019 on Saturday. 10,000km (6k miles).

Black on Black. 2LZ.

There is a Sebring Orange one at a dealer on the other side of Toronto, but it is only 1LZ trim.

Get a black Escalade or Hummer with 26" wheels.

Good luck my friend, I hope you get one of those, I will NEVER sell my C7Z with the man pedal, nor my V2 M6, I need a clutch to stay engaged.

With that said, if I could afford a C8ZR1, I would consider one, as it will be the greatest car in the history of the world.

Not even close.

I have seen a few for sale, cheapest was right around 200k, the others were 2440-250k

On top of that we have 13% sales tax and every car over 100k has a luxury tax of an additional 10% of the value that is over 100k.

True socialist country. The harder you work and the more successful you are, the more you are punished for it.

ICNLT, and I live in Kommiefornia.

Yep, they are even increasing capital gains taxes from 50% to 68%.

Just flat out punishing successful people.

The bullshit "carbon tax" is simply wealth redistribution masquerading as climate action

Could your car still be floating around?

I've done Canada a few times. Going in is nothing for the most part just like Mexico. Coming back into the US was nasty. How can they get a stolen car through?

They put them in shipping containers and send them all over the world.

I saw a show where they busted a car theft ring in Nigeria and they opened containers full of high end cars stolen in the US and Canada and headed for Iran, Dubai, etc. HUGE business. The only up-side was that the cars were not chopped or stripped.....so they survived.

We have billions for Ukraine and hundreds of millions for other countries but we can't hire a bunch of inspectors with scanners at our ports to stop the massive export of stolen cars.

**** me I hate our government.

No exports, far fewer thefts. It's not a difficult problem to solve.

They just don't care.

Holy sheep chit. WTF.
50% destroys any incentive to risk capital for a potential gain. 68% is beyond stupid.

Just plain disgusting. From the ****ing crime to the gov crime of taxing the living shit out of everyone. If that prick Trudeau gets voted back in, I'm buying a house beside SteveR. Joking. I'll be moving to Naples.

Population density here is 596. Naples is 1,600. Choose wisely.
