we are comparing a 15 year old car with a brand new one. so yes the new car would be worth more money. me personally i wouldn't pay 80k for a vette. i've road in and driven them and they are not all they are cracked up to be. to me at least. don't get me wrong, the new z06 is a beast but i'm willing to bet that when i get finished with my TT, it will beat one. on any type of course...it's all about what you want
