Default Would trade even up??

Well I was thinking about my Y2K and it's real-on the block-value
which is probably alittle over $15,000 and I have $30,000 worth
of mod's. I still really love this car and it's value is much more than
wholesale. Still I thought would I trade even up for a stripped down
brand new, right from the factory C-6????
No, in fact I wouldn't trade even up for a new ZO-6. I have more
horsepower and I have a auto.( The new GS has even less hp but
a auto). Like a said I like this vette alot and it has my "stamp" on
it ---------it's not stock.
So........The question I have for YOU is : if you could trade your
present vette for a brand new strip-down C-6 -----would you do
it. ( I guess strip-down ones ( the basic ) C-6 are going for $45k).
Thanks for your interest.

I would not trade my GS for a stripped down base C6. I would probably trade the 95. Even though both would be financially in my favor, I just don't get too excited looking at a base model C6. C6 Z, yes.

Although I no longer have my vette, I know what the answer would have been.

Although I really enjoyed my car, I'd have swapped the 87 in a New Yawk Second for a stripped down C6

Stripped down just means I have more room to mod

You coudn't trade even for a New Z06 anyway...not even close in price...No dealer would even talk about even trade on that...Especially trading heavy modded vettes...It doesn't matter how much HP you have...

But that wasn't his question.

He asked "IF" you could...and the Z06 wasn't even in the equation.

So, "if" you were in that position and "if" the offer were to come up, would you?

Sorry. I guess my writing skills are poor. I was only asking hypothetically.
I was not talking about me I am not interested in any newer vettes.
I used a C-6 stripped because I know that there is alot of ZO-6
envy in the community.
