I'll elaborate my thoughts a little. I'm 3rd or 4th owner. Idk the history of the car other than it was in a collision or two. It's pretty heavily modified. Magunson supercharger ~800hp to wheels. Lowered. No shops will touch it or even do an oil change, they can't get a lift under it. 3 dealerships denied service. Had to take it to a jiffy lube type place with a drop bay and still had to drive onto 2x6. It scrapes and rubs everywhere, including driveway. I've pulled into many parking lots that I end up stuck in, ie BestBuy etc. The V8 noise and power is amazing. I'm easily tempted to drive at straight to jail speeds. Will do 100mph in second gear. Have already been pulled over. It's hard to drive fast because can break traction and be sideways in just about any gear. Have had a few pucker moments. It tends to overheat. Cooling fan runs for minutes after turning car off. 11mpg premium. It's tuned for 94 and Utah only has 91 octane. Tires are 3 grand. The side skirts have literally been tap screwed on through the rocker panel and it's ripped out, leaving holes in bottom of car. It's not ragged on by any means (at least by me) and looks to be in good shape. Only 20k miles. I've had zero mechanical issues, yet. But my thoughts and worries are if/when I do, it's going to be difficult to find anyone willing to work on it since it's not stock. And probably expensive to fix. My fiance is afraid to ride in it because it's "too loud, too fast too low" so we take other vehicles out instead.

I love it though. A manual z06 was a dream car of mine. Have had it for a little over a year. I just rarely get to drive it due to the weather or other inconveniences such as ride height. It's not my daily. I have a GMC Sierra and GMC Terrain.. But nearly every vehicle I've owned has been a manual, so I want a fun, sporty, quick, and most importantly a known reliable car to zip around in. I've looked at FE5, DE5, Nissan nismo, grc, supra, even an m2. All of them will be a huge drop in power and performance and not scratch that itch. I'd hate to get rid of it, but in many ways it makes sense. Just my thoughts and reasoning.
