Well said SRT-SIX. My father was in a spot about 3-4 months ago. He had purchased a Brand New 2004 Corvette Coupe, retired, had some medical issues, needed to free up some cash. I traded him out of his Vette and into the SRT-6 plus a check for $6,000.
The main reason I did this was I believe that the SRT-6 will hold. I can't see his car selling for less than $22-$23,000 3-4 years from now. I'm speaking of a very well kept, 2nd car that stays in the garage with very low miles.
The amount of flack he gets about getting rid of the Vette is incredible. But, the SRT-6 is able to give 99% of the performance for a lot less money.
