The Hot Wheels color is nice but $18,xxx.00 extra. I have been tossing it around for hours now. Long story short I don't think it's a reality for me to actually purchase the car. Wife says do it but my mind says ("you're crazy!). As you know it's a full fledge race car and I just don't have time to do that right now. I would love to tuck it away but the values are all over the place. In 20 years I will be kicking myself !!!!

Back to the original question, if I pulled the trigger today and had my current budget I would go with blue , racers package,appearance package and the 302.

I called GM today and went over all the details. It's def a cool experience.

Maybe I will just frame the order form and say I was one/69 out of 16,300 people that were chosen.

My hailmary is playing the lottery tonight

Just get it! Or at a minimum, sell your lottery spot and take the wife out for a nice dinner.

Sell the spot and get yourself a ZL1LE(yes, you can use that as the vanity plate as well).

So if you decide not to order the car, do they just build one less? Or will they select someone to replace your order?

They keep going until 69 people agree and put a $10000.00 non refundable deposit down.

In 20 years I will be that arsehole that people say" that guy had a chance to buy a COPO and didn't? lol

That was the $$$ question for me. i think they will all will go up in value. How much, i don't know? I didn't have big enough balls to do it. Plus , there would be no way that i could buy one and let it sit without racing it. I tried finding someone who really did want one and get it in their hands. No one amongst the people i knew wanted to reach in their pockets either. Being a race car only def limits your buying audience for sure. I think about it every day and just stare at the order form
