[QUOTE="smitty2919, post: 16582317, member: 113577"] LOL at some guys comparing a GT/GT500/C5Z to a GenV Viper. Different worlds entirely. I wouldn't pay $90K for any Mustang, not sure if one even exists (fell out of Mustang following a while ago). I agree with whoever said "Is a GenV Viper ~$70K more enjoyable than a C5Z?" Assuming you get a decent C5Z for around $20K and Viper is $90K. That's for OP to decide, but IMO it's not. Or even bump up to a C6Z($30-40K)/ZR1($50-70K) or C7Z($70-80k) and a realistic option if wanting to play but also "save some money" and not spend the $90K+. All comes down to "do you think a car (because at the end of the day that's all it is) is worth shelling out $90K for in your current financial/life situation?" PRO for all of this is resale value. Many cars you are guaranteed to lose money on them. I always have mixed feelings about some that "live for today not tomorrow" or "tomorrow is not guaranteed". While true, you also need to consider setting yourself up TODAY FOR TOMORROW. All a balancing act to live within your means and make reasonable decisions. Unless I had my dream house, on my dream property with my dream garage...my wife has everything she would desire, I'm not spending $90K on a car. I'm a car guy, but I'm also a realist and know there is more to life than cars. I'd get rid of my C5Z if it meant getting the last bit of money to get a property layout my wife and I have been looking for because the property is a longer lasting entity than a car. OP, is this REALLY about a GenV Viper or is this deep down about a "cool car itch"? If it's an itch, can something cheaper scratch it for you? [/QUOTE]
