Which is why checking the "Track Pack Box" on a GT500, Viper, ZL1 etc is not the prohibiting factor for a prospective buyer . Everyone checks over a car for proper care and condition. Doesn't matter if its a Kia or Ferrari.

In reality almost nobody is qualified to do an inspection on the most basic of vehicles, let alone something as highly engineered as a ZLE. I wouldn't even consider buying a used ZLE without having a P.P.I. done by an expert. |

True, but you could literally say "some people" about anything.

Doesn't make it not true though. Keep in mind just because I said the vast majority do not track or drag their cars doesn't mean that all potential buyers believe that's the case. Case in point, look how many people choose to buy a new performance car instead of used because they don't want to take a chance on the history of the car. Happens every day.

Also…if it’s a performance car, tracked or not, 99.99% chance it’s been driven hard.

I’d say the depreciation deal was true up until the last few years. If you want a new ZLE your window is just about closed for good. So the game is a bit different now. Trying to win is usually a losing proposition, because at least in CA , new car taxes and fees can add up to 10k on a loaded ZLE or Convertible ZL1. Ten years ago and beyond if you drove your 40k car off the lot, it was 30k the next day. Getting 63k for a 2020 car with some miles, that was mid fifties with all the incentives is a hell of a good number in my book.
Six months from now, ten years from is anyone’s guess. |

If you don't mind taking the hit on a new car then it's a nice experience. However, as you surely know, new cars have issues too. Just head over and read the C8 Z06 forum from time to time. |

As far as track pack cars go, across every manufacturer, from the beginning of time, they always bring in the most money. Same car same condition equals more money in the collector market.

NG329 I’m sure your car is in excellent mechanical condition, and the person buying your car will likely be someone who appreciates the way you took care of your car. If I was in the secondary market I’d be more likely to look at your car than a typical street car that’s been modded and tuned.
