I never build a car with resale value in mind. That means I am primarily building it for someone else and not for me. If I decide to sell and whomever wants it bad enough agrees to pay my price, then so be it. I can assure you, a lot of work has gone into this dudes car and I tip my hat to him with no questions asked and no second guessing.
The question wasnt meant to be rude to the guy (sorry if I came off that way). I actually like his car. I have an 08 Atomic Orange C6 myself. I was mainly just curious since with a Z06 he would have gotten a aluminum frame, magnesium cradle, less sound deadening, lighter seats, carbon panels, etc. 30K difference new but used difference is around 15-20K.
