So my current stable contains ...
2007 BMW z4m coupe (track friendly)
2008 Prius (daily beater)
1973 de tomaso pantera (project car/ something to always wrench on)
I would like to have a daily beater, a track friendly car, and a fun street car in addition to the pantera which is always a project.
So what I am looking for is a modifiable car that will be only used for street driving. I have considered a lot and really what I have come down to is the following, which could not be more opposite.
-997.1 turbo (probably looking at a 6mt 2009 sport chrono, sport seats, LSD , which is the last year made and most sought after of the generation) would want it white with pccbs, cf interior trim and sills on black. Probably could get one with a few miles (40ish) for 70-75k. Would do a few bolt ons ($15k all together maybe over a few years, fabspeed exhaust, Cobb/ ptf tune, run e85, intercoolers, kW coilovers and camber plates, boost recirculation valves, and some meaty tires (255f 345mm rears!!) on a set of hre's. Make 530-580whp easily, and 500 ft lbs. lots of room to upgrade with bigger turbos, etc.
-other option is a late year c6 z06. Possibly 2011-13. Would want the z07 package, and the carbon package and similar miles (40k ish) and prefer black. Now the c6 z06 really ranges in price, mid to high 30s for a early c6 (2007-08) or mid 50s to 60s for a later well optioned model. I would spend maybe 10k on mods over a few years, meaty tires on either hre's or ccws, coilovers, and do something along the lines of an lpe 660 package with heads/cams/intake/headers/tune and make about 50-550 whp and 500 ft lbs on 93. Would love to do Loma wide body flares and rockers too.
Now I have never been a domestic car person, but I do have respect for the corvette and it's tuning abilities. Investment wise, a well optioned late model, z06 will probably still depreciate some before settling out, however I think the turbo is at its bottom dollar currently and will begin to rise (manual with mezger will be somewhat valuable some day)
I may throw a blower on the m coupe in the future (ttfs prima plus) but I know that no matter what I do I will never get this level of performance out of the m coupe with out sacrificing major drivability. I see the m coupe as a forever car (unless I replace it with a .2gt3 rs) and it incredible balanced power wise with current power (307/270 to the wheels)
So of these two options what does everyone think? I'm leaning towards the turbo but giving the z06 a fair chance.
Ain't to replacement for displacement, all 7L of it that is...
Some photos of current stable if anyone cares
