However, it all depends on what a person wants / wants to do with their vehicle.
I personally dont have the time or energy to work on a project vehicle, my livelihood involves lots of shop time doing maintenance and repair on a fleet of farm equipment and construction equipment - a hobby that involves 'wrenching' isnt for me,
I want a vehicle to drive 10000 kms / year in the summers - a trip or 2 to the mountains, etc. Probably a trip to Stoon each wknd, etc. The oldies wont do that for me.
There are countless arguments both ways (classics dont depreciate, new ones have creature comforts like A/C, etc etc). A 4-5 year old car has taken its biggest hit already and most of the cars in the class I am looking at were not driven much... I am hoping to offset a bit of the cost by trimming some kms off my diesel!
The fact that a ZO6 is faster than almost any other car out there is a bit of a plus - I think they are 12 second cars with street tires that go 300kph, with A/C...

Missed this before!
No worries there Morris, Ive changed and worked on thousands of different sized, models, and makes of tires, I can spot a "good" one thats just about worn, that would last alot longer then the ones I have!
I gotta be honest with ya, I think they are ugly as hell! I sure love the power and whatnot of them though. Its really an amazing machine. I may have missed it before, but what abouts are one of those puppies still worth?

If I was given that choice, i wouldnt for simply money reasons.
The superduty will NEVER hold its value like a z06 would. Take the values of the z06 and the SD in 10, then 20 years, and the SD will never compete.
That being said I really like the new superduties and would buy one over a z06, but thats cause Im really more of a truck guy, and the cars I do like are mainly older ones.
Gimme that performace in my 1929 Model A roadster though please!!!! lol

I dont actually know anyone there, but Ive been dealing on a motorbike out there and everytime I see someone from sorta around that area, Ive been asking how close they are. Im going to try to round someone up to go check it out for me before I pull the pin and just buy it haha.
I also plan on buying one of the new 6.7 liter super duties, but I think Im going to wait a couple years yet, just so i can see them prove themselves, plus Ill be honest, I would like to do a few more mods to my next diesel to get it to pour a little more power then stock out of it.
Been pondering upgrading the good ol 7.3 to a 6.4 liter truck, as Ive been somewhat helping Ryan shop for a 6.0 liter truck, and Ive came across some very nice, reasonabley priced 6.4 trucks.

Dont get me wrong, I used to do all the work on my vehicles and do customizing and house renos in my younger days too. I wouldnt ever again... the bills are tax deductible if done properly

Morris, the classics are very very special.
However, it all depends on what a person wants / wants to do with their vehicle.
I personally dont have the time or energy to work on a project vehicle, my livelihood involves lots of shop time doing maintenance and repair on a fleet of farm equipment and construction equipment - a hobby that involves 'wrenching' isnt for me,
I want a vehicle to drive 10000 kms / year in the summers - a trip or 2 to the mountains, etc. Probably a trip to Stoon each wknd, etc. The oldies wont do that for me.
There are countless arguments both ways (classics dont depreciate, new ones have creature comforts like A/C, etc etc). A 4-5 year old car has taken its biggest hit already and most of the cars in the class I am looking at were not driven much... I am hoping to offset a bit of the cost by trimming some kms off my diesel!
