Mark,
You can certainly get a lot of after market horsepower for the difference between the cost of a new ZO6 and a standard C6.
I think the ZO6 is much more than just a higher horsepower C6 though.
It has a lot of road race style upgrades that make it a pretty good value for $20K above the regular C6. Things like the aluminum frame, the magnesium engine cradle, the big brakes, the larger wheels and the carbon fiber parts.
A lot of this stuff can be purchased aftermarket but other things can't. I doubt you could get it all installed for $20K even if it was available. Plus, on the ZO6, it's all covered under the factory warranty.
I think a factory ZO6 will hold it's value on the used market better than a modified C6. For my money I would much rather buy a used ZO6 than a used C6 with after market upgrades.
