Default Should I ditch the fat 'hoe??

Heres my scenario. I cant get a 3rd car until the new house is built next year. The wife has a CTS-V, but she wont let me touch it.
I just dont think that Im going to be happy with a 12 sec truck. Im thinking of selling it and getting a RCSB or maybe an 03 Z06 (Im not going to buy a new vehicle just to replace everything right away). What would you do?
I would be happier if I had gone turbo, but I cant justify taking all of this Vortech stuff off and having to sell it etc and still keeping the truck.
Either of the new vehicles would be dropped off to have a big turbo put on and whatever else I couldnt do.
Everyone else is jumping ship so I figured I would weigh my options as well.

I would get The RCSB over the 03 Z06 as long as you get something for it. I drove a C6 corvette, and yeah it was fast, but it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. I guess it's just more fun to go fast in something that sits up high and is big like a truck (not that I'm fast ). BTW, you're a rich ****, lol. CTS-V, 3rd car, new house, and 12 sec SUV? I hope I grow up to be like you after I get out of college (and I'm only 16 ).

Get an 03 z06. I rode in a modded one and it was the ride of my life. Plus you can stop just as fast too and have fun goin around corners. Nothing looks cooler than a black super low z06.

RCSB you can convert everything you have into it. You will lose your *** on oyu rmods that have now cause you will have tyo sell them with getting a z06 JMO.

You guys have encompassed what has been going through my mind. My buddy just got a Lemans edition Z06 with the carbon fiber hood. I know Id loose my ***....... I just dont know what I want to do. Maybe I'll finish the truck and when the house is done, Ill get an 03 Z06 and just do a cam, headers, and a wet shot
