I'm gonna buy something else and spend up to $25K so that would include a Terminator or maybe an 01 Z06. What would yall do?
The 99 is gone, what should I buy now?
- Thread starter viperbluelx
- Start date
terminator(if you can find them in 25k range in your area), a Mach1, Camaro SS, or a WS6

A whippled Terminator doesn't necessarily "eat" Z06's. A cam/headers Z06 will put down 440rwhp in a 3000lb car.

Lets say the 03 Cobra and the 01 Z06 are the exact same price.
You're goint to toss a whipple at the 03 or put the equal amount into the Z06 - wanna take a guess which car is going to be faster? Not to mention a better suspension, and lighter?
I'm all about a S/Ced Cobra...but all things being equal, I would take that Vett in a heart beat.
Viperbluelx, from reading your post in the past you've been talking about a vett...man, I would jump on a nice Z06.
I had the oppertunity to buy a demo (yeah, yeah, I know) Z06 back in 03 for $38K and I WISH I would have done it. There was just no way I would have been able to sell the 95GT I had fast enough.

correct. plus, if there's a curve in the road...
Okay so I may be a little biased. Let me put it how I felt about the whole situation...
I love mustangs. Always will. However, after having a GT, a bolt on Terminator, and a lightly modded New Edge Cobra, it was simply time for something a little bit different.
IMHO the Terminator's time is starting to come to an end. They will always have a Supra-like legacy, but the whole "OMG a Terminator" thing isn't quite as large any more.
My advice is to drive both and purchase the one you like the best.
For me...I will not under any circumstances be giving up my Corvette to go back to a mustang. I may add a mustang to the stable though at some point.

Love everything about the vette, just not the body.
supra.
Agree that a Z06 would be a good choice. I dont know about your area, but they rarely go for less than 28-30k here still. Terminators are dipping in the 22-25k range pretty regular. If you can find a Z in your price range, definitely pick one up.
Z06. Best bang for the buck.
Then longtubes and exhaust and a 150 shot.

I HATE the rear glass in the Z06. Go for a base '01 vette w/ 6sp and dump the difference into Cam, Headers and LSX intake manifold.

That's what I was thiking as well. Z06s seem to hold value well. I don't think I've ever seen one in good shape without a ton of miles for under $28k.
IMO, if you are looking at an 01 Z06, you should really consider a 99/00 FRC as well. Both have the LS1 and save for brake screens, wheels, and badges, are the same visually. If you plan to change h/c, which I'm sure you do, you are going to end up at the same point. You can buy a very nice 99/00 FRC for $25k.
With that said, I don't really think you can lose with a 03 or Vette. Both are supremely nice cars. You'll probably be able to buy a far nicer/lower mile 03 than Z06 for $25k.
corvette by a mile.
however, an rx7 with an ls1 swap would be interesting.

Well, yeah....that's always an option...lol. Or how bout a 260Z?
I'd save a little longer and get an 02 Z06
Go with the chubby. I was just thinking about this the other day, my mom has a stock c4 vette with its measly 250 hp. Not much, but theres just something about having 5.7L to play with. Just get a c5 and procharge or cam it.

And the interiors. For a car of that price, Chevy slacked on the cheapy looking interior. Still a nice car though.
