well after going to the LA Auto Show the other night i've been thinking more and more about my Elise that will probably arrive around august. I just can't decide if i want to spend 40k on this car. I currently have an S2000 and just bought the Daytona Cobra coupe that i posted on here before. Anyway, assuming i have another 40 grand to throw on a performance/track car i've been doing some thinking...
With the C6 corvettes due to arrive soon, the C5 cars are experiencing even more depreciation than they already have. By august i would guess a nice low milage Z06 could be picked up in the mid to low 30s. Say you could grab one for 33, with 7k of mods it would simply crush the Elise in almost every way.
I don't know why you guys are buying the car but for me it is sheer performance, value for money, and fun factor. I couldn't care less what badge is on my car as long as it is well made and fast. Have any of you thought of how you're going to justify the $40k Elise to yourself when C5 Z06 prices are going to be so low?
