http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...nal&listType=3 here is an example, not a ZO6 but a good deal none the less.
That is probably a scam - $10,000 under going price for one in only "fair" condition? Cars.com has been hit with lots of scammers posting up pictures of cars they find on line with unbelievably low prices.

I'd never buy a s/c car. Personally, you never know how hard it was ran or how long it will last.


The 2010, unless you supercharge it, you will regret buying everytime you drive it. Knowing that a 2011 or 12 has the same body but makes about 100 hp more would make me mad.


I love the 03 cobra! Sexy, beautiful and rare! If I had to pick, I'd find a used 11 GT or the Cobra. A used 11 GT can be had for in mid 20's.

Hmmmmm...I could have swore that '03 cobras were s/c? I agree with the premise of your statement but you would in fact purchase a supercharged car given the choice according to this statement.

I agree with you, it's a risk but depending on the owner that could be a great deal.

I love my 2010 GT. It's plenty fast for me with the 3.73 diff. Since the one you are looking at is stock, and still has lots of the warranty left - I would go with that one.

Strong logic is strong... if I thought like that i'd be rocking a bone stock 05 GT auto or a 07-08 V6

As i said previously, I got my garaged 2007 GT with 80k miles with a paxton NOVI 2200SL and other mods for $14k. That's $5k below NADA not counting the s/c and mods. I thought it was too good to be true but the thing drives like a beast. I've had it for about 5 months now and got the 1 year dealer warranty that covers everything but the s/c for $1700. This bitch pulls hard as hell. Even if the motor did blow while out of warranty, I still did good. Just gotta wait for the good deals

Happy sailor is happy

edit: I never did drive a stock GT but my dad said the couple he drove really needed another 50hp, after driving some 350Z's and RX8's. Maybe he just expected more out of v8.
