Default New car time, give me a hand

Ok, I decided to sell the truck and get a car. I need to lower my monthly payments, and since this truck was 42k new I'm sitting @ $688/mo. So I have 3 cars that I'm really undecided about.

I would get the C5 Z06 hands down but there is no backseat and I don't want there to be a time that I need to pick up or drop off the kids and the wife have the TBSS. But hey it's a Z06

So I need some help, the choices are;

- '02-'04 C5 Z06 (any color really)

- '06 GTO (color I really want is Brazen Orange Metallic)

- '03-'04 Cobra


I've searched around and can get each for very close in price.

The other car I wanted was a '01-'02 Sunset Orange Metallic SS or WS6, but everyone who's selling them are overpricing them. Even though they are going for less than the vette and goat I'm not willing to pay more than the car is worth.

I like the GTO!!! I really don't see that many of them rolling around, much less modified ones. You should make this thread into a poll!

Honestly if your worried about the no backseat cause of the kids then i would get the Goat.
Vette no seat at all....Cobra might as well not have a backseat honestly. It's small as hell back there and annoying to boot.
GTO is what i'd get.

I would say a GTO also
My friend has one and the backseat is pretty comfortable, and not too many of them are on the road...























Might as well do a STS while your at it

LS2 GTO, hpe s-cam, rods, springs, kooks 1 7/8" headers, ORX, cat back, dyno tune, 450rwhp +150shot= game over. They are very nice cars.
