(I know i'm making it sound like a Corvette, and there's some truth to that, but it is definitely something special). I think i'd be hard pressed to every buy one new vs a 911 due to the massive depreciation, but I think they could be an interesting prospect used.
yes. pre-owned for sure.

i'm having a hard time looking at anything to be honest. the AMG GT pre owned is 2.5X and a GT3 (circa 2018) is 5X what the ZL1 is worth at market value.

and there's really mostly subjective criteria (some objective) separating the cars.

Yeah I know what you mean. I've been mulling similar thoughts as well recently- how much more am i willing to pay for mostly subjective improvements. The Porsche 911 market in general is so crazy these days that it's hard to seriously consider them

So….I know this will surprise no one.

But I went a different direction.

Still accomplishing the same goal. But another out of left field purchase….

Ah.

No. I was sorely tempted. But you know. The ZL1 isn’t going anywhere.

Should I just start a separate thread?

That seems most polite.
