Default Thinking about a C8...am I crazy?
Backstory: My C7 Z06 was stolen.

The price difference between a C7 Z06 and a C8 Stingray is negligible.

Saw this one:

I am intrigued.

Thoughts?

So you can say you’ve had two Vettes stolen?

IF, big IF, I replace it I will keep it locked in the garage.

Lesson learned.

Part of me wants to say fuck it and just buy a pool for the new house with the insurance money.

Find a low mileage C6 Z06, and put the pool in with the savings. Double win.

C7 Z06.

I'm not even sure if this is a real question.

A C7 Z06 is worth every cracked wheel. I just keep buying spares.

Well, whatever you do, you should come up with anti theft plan. You've already been fooled once.

I'd say, take a nice percentage of the dough and invest in a really good security system, BEFORE bringing home another one.

Yeh but he could drive on down to the gym and come back out 2 hours later and walk home to his new security system?

At that price why not throw a few extra $ in and go C8 Z06 ?
