You could buy a '69 Camaro COPO ZL1 for that kind of money and watch it zoom in value once this recession ends... someday.
I am concerned that the OP's grandmother is dying yet "future decisions" seems to focus on what are considered unobtainable dream cars for most of us. The Lambo and Viper will be there in the future, grandma won't.
I am concerned about how these "future decisions" will affect the OP in the future. Here we have a 16 yr old with a Camaro and a F150 who lives with a dad who freely spends money on exotics. Even if you can afford it, consumerism and materialism needs to be balanced with moderation.
Living large is not setting the best example for this young and impressionable mind.
Life is not "having anything I want whenever I want it".

Worry about yourself then. I apologize to be blunt but I am offended with what you have said. The I'm worried about the cars more than my grandmother - her cancer has been entirely removed and her lung is healing; its a terrible feeling knowing at most she may have 10 years ahead of her. I know it may seem odd to you, but you don't live in the same fashion and it's a different situation. I love my grandmother and helped dad pick out a DTS for her this week. who are you to say what life is? I never said I can have anything at any time, and you do not know my personal life; so please do not judge me off of the >100 posts you could have read about me. I apologize for the beginning because I wrote until I was out if steam and erased it because you put a lot of pain back in my eyes mentioning she won't be there; but anyway thanks for the input. I like the Z06 a little better than the Viper for driveability and exterior appearance. Vote!
