Red face Thinking about selling my toys for something else...

Kicking around the idea of selling my Hellcat & the Miata and picking up something else. Would love a V10 R8, but that market is still lol no thanks at those prices. Don't want to pay $80K+ for a 2011 model.

It would have to be something that really gets me excited. A properly done LS swapped 66 or 67 Chevelle would be a contender. Not sure what else.

I have also been thinking of selling just the Miata and getting a 2006+ Elise or Exige, but that market is still lol high too.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

If I sold both, it would have to be for something I REALLY want. Not really sure what else that's not stupid $ that would keep me happy...

What would your budget be for a new toy? That would help narrow down the list of potential options.

Car prices are insane, there's basically nothing sub $100k I'd have any interest in owning right now. Nothing is worth the price.

Keep the cars, hope for some type of correction in the market 5-10 years from now.

Totally different approach, buy a 2 stroke go kart if you have any tracks nearby? A lot of fun to be had with a shifter kart that can do 80 to 100mph (or more) while sitting an inch from the ground.

You're not wrong. Maybe just add a driver quality C5Z or sell 1 of them for a 427 Vert. I have owned a C6Z.

I do also want a 67-72 C10 but not sure I want the headache

i think in a year or two we will see used c8 z06s under 100k. its going to be really hard to top that experience for less.

1LZ already at $100k. Market value is now $30-35k under MSRP used.

My vote under $100k is a 997 or 991 GTS. Maybe a Turbo S if you’re a turbo kind of guy
