I honestly might end up in a SS 1LE because it is just such a more prudent decision to make with such amazing price for performance.

Before all this happened I was actually looking at a used Porsche 911, but that market saw a much steeper increase in price to the point it is just not worth it to me anymore.

Buying a ZL1 isnt supposed to be a 'cheaper plan B' but even with the 2023 increase, it still is.

I’m with you on that. Just frustrating that these shortages and price increases are coming right before this huge EV push. It’s making everyone feel like “it’s now or never, so pay up or you’re out for good.”

I took on a career change at the end of 2020 as well, which involved a major salary cut for me, initially. Long term it was the right move for sure, but it’s gonna be tough for several years.
