That 340 HP Dodge Magnum wagon is pretty hot. But I would still stay with my Z, as it is such a great deal for the price: considering the high cost of Porche 911, Corvette, and BMW M3. If I had a family, I'd go with the Dodge wagon. Those view-blocking/ rollover SUV's need to become history!

OTOH, I'm old school enough to still like old American cars with big engines. If I could lay my hands on a clean 69 Charger R/T with a 440 or Hemi, for the right price, I'd go that way in a heartbeat. (Fat chance of finding one that isn't totally trashed, or already megabuck restored, I know.)
Then, I do know where I can lay my hands on a 71 Camaro for cheap (really cheap, the engine is blown). I have a built 350 still sitting on the engine stand from another aborted project which would drop right in. Second generation Camaros aren't really my cup of tea, but it is hard to resist this particular deal since I'd have very little money in it, and customizing and go fast parts are incredibly available, and cheap, for these older Chevies.
There are just so many ways to go as an auto enthusiast, it is hard to make up one's mind. I am not at all tired of the Z. It looks great, and it is a blast to drive. But I'm not married to it. If the right other car came along at the right price, I just might jump ship.

I'd go buy the greatest car ever: 1987 Chevy Sprint Turbo in fire engine red.
Three cylinder 1.0 Mitsu engine with a turbo in a car that weighs like 1200 pounds. Yowza!
Most of y'all are probably too young to remember this monster. Tore it up on 12" rims.

I have to agree, I love my Z but the C6 is HOTTTT, but of course its 45K however, 0-60 in 4.1 and 12.5 1/4 is impressive for the price plus all the cool features....Id love to have a Brickyard C6

Just as fast as I could write a check. I might be tempted to try PPW the second time around (love that blue top), but then I'd probably just go for Le Mans Sunset again.

I'd get another one too.. the only difference is that I would get the base and get the cusco lsd, 6000k HID and volk progressive spoke... it would come out close to the cost of the performance.

Will buy black z again, and second choice would be red 2005 corvette, but if I have more money, I will consider the silver Gt3 or red Modena.
24k miles on mine (2003 black track)
