Helpful advice here, thanks guys. I will take advantage of it.

I will be able to afford a new truck and trailer in a couple years, which will make things easier for sure.

Think i'll go for the z51 afterall. Done some reading about it tonight and seems like a truly great option package. Not planning on modding so this way it will be reasonably ready for the track.

I live in denver so I definitely have some mountain roads to drive on.

These cars are literally exactly the same other than year, mileage, and z51/npp. Same color, everything.
