FisforFast if you could even afford a Corvette then you would know how reliable they are. GM might have a lot of piece of **** cars for reliability etc but not the Vette. I've owned two and never had 1 single thing go wrong. I will take my ZR-1 when it comes in and race any stupid stock GTR rice burning piece of dung and sell it cheap when I win it.

Z06
I've owned an 07 /C6 Z06 before trading it in against my current 09 /CTS-V cady . There is NO doubt about the reliability of the vette's , I've talked to at least fifty people who own them and made my decision to move on one .
I decided to trade in the big Z when realizing that our roads in ontario suck and on long trips the big Z was a little rough on my back . If I had owned a C6vette with the E55 magnetic suspension set up , I would have kept that car . However I still lust after the vette's because of their looks and durability .
The big V cady is no slouch as far as performance and with the luxury it provides it is ideal for long trips and very fast fun , it is completely different than the Z06 when it spools up and unleashes it's supercharged power . The V is superquiet when she pushes her poonies against your back as compared to the vette's roar and "raw" force of nature . Now I'm dreaming again ...oh oh...

That's a hard choice. The way I look at it, is that cars like the ISF and GTR that are paddle-shift monsters are just so easy to drive and go fast, even too fast. I really like that about em, especially from a DD standpoint. Z06 and ZR1 are unbelievable rides and I would consider them, if I could afford them, which I can NOT. With that being said about the ISF/GTR, there is something so raw that attracts me to American muscle like the vette and GT500 Shelby that I can't put my finger on. Regardless of build quality, they are just sweet IMO. Sorry for the rant

Another point that's not mentioned yet between the IS-F and the Z06 is the IS-F will have a higher resale value than the Z06.
Anyway, who knows a Chevy Corvette will be made in China. GM just decided to sell its Hummer brand to China, so who knows if your high praise Z06 will be sold, too! Will it still be as good? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...100901701.html
I'd rather stay with the IS-F or GT-R.

z06 resale value
How do you figure that an ISF will have a higher resale value than an Z06 ?
Having seen what used ISF's are worth on the market compared to Z06's , I don't think so . Z06 vette's hold their value quite well .

Vette's hold a traditionally strong resale value.
If someone can't decide between a Z06 and an IS-F, they would have to be a clueless idiot. The cars are not in the same class with each other. One has two doors. One has 4 seats. They are both good in their respective class.

Most current new domestic cars lose resale value terribly when comparing to Japanese cars. I can get a low mileage 2006 Z06 for around $40K now. If I'm not mistaken, it used to be around $70K new. The depreciation % may be higher than other domestic cars, but it's not that high in general.
