I need advise, should I buy a second Z06?
So I have a DOM 3LT Z06 ( Not a Z07 ). I have two homes that a spend a good amount of time in. Trailering is not an option for me anyway. I would like another sports car and for the $$$ nothing compares to a Z06, there is like nothing dollar for dollar that matches up. Any who, do you think its stupid to have 2--Z06's in this situation, different colors of course?
Any other thoughts on some other car's to look at? I was thinking CTS-V, maybe a Viper, or a HellCat. I do not think I would be happy though with these three

I've seen them in a previous post from you about a year or so ago. They are beautiful. I would have recommended he get a 63-67 stingray but I assume he's looking for a new car. Nothing better than a 63-67 stingray, IMO. Was and will always be the ultimate generation.

Change it up. Maybe a Viper or a classic car. I love my new Z, the Viper and the old Vettes. Variety is more interesting. Completely different driving experiences and it's nice to have some cars that don't depreciate as rapidly as a new Z.

The C7 ZR1/Zora - or whatever they're going to call - may arrive in a year or two.
That might be fun. Although it doesn't answer the question in the present sense.

I'd add a CTS-V for the added room, back seat, and business functionality yet maintain the drivetrain of the Z06.

I love my Z06, but variety is the spice of life. I'd go for a Viper, or Hellcat...or GT350.

If these where going in the same garage I would get something different, period. These are not going in the same garage, two separate locations thousands of miles apart.....In the end you may have two of the same car, but you only have one accessible to drive.

A Viper would be pretty tempting. NA, and they won't be built for much longer - and who knows if they'll come back.

acr with the extreme track package. viper also has some very cool colors. or a Porsche, Ferrari, lambo, McLaren, maybe used if wanting to keep the price down.. gallardo is beautiful. if z06 then callaway and different tranny and convertible... definitely get something very different with this opportunity... mustang gt350r, new Camaro, hellcat.. tesla, BMW i8, so many cool cars to choose from nowadays.. what is your price limit? no matter what car you have it is a shame to just get another one. i love my z07 but I would not get a second no matter what car I had unless maybe it was mostly for my lady.

It depends on your income. Personally, as someone with 3-4 cars at each of two different houses, I find "switching" cars is more fun.
If money is an issue and if you are prepared to spend about the same price, why not a Cadillac CTS V? I have one and ordered a new one and find it to be my "go to car" even when a Bentley and Ferrari are parked next to it. Best

I would not take a step backwards.
Get another Z06.
