Well I have an '05 C6. I don't have a brand new ZR1 - so the '05 is better

This gent makes a good point. Kind of like the Mrs. Could go out and get a new one, but geez that would be expensive (trade difference is a killer on that one). And there's nothing wrong with the one I got.

Bang for the buck? $/HP? Insurance rates? Depreciation?

The 2005 wins, hands down.

You will have to specify which option level on each. That is the only way I can make a decision.

The '05 is definitely better. Because it has no issues, you can buy a used one for $20K.. and then put $100K into flying 1st class around the world would definitely faster than trying to drive a brand new '12 $120K ZR1 around the world.

Just make sure you leave the '05 in reverse when you park it at the airport.
