Stefano, the only thing I will say about modifying my car, is that every dealer that I inquired about trading my V for a Z has asked if my car was stock. Makes me think modifying would hurt resale.

The market for modified late model cars is generally much smaller than it is for stock cars. Most dealers can't work on high HP modded cars and most of these builds are not emissions legal. Not all Performance shops use the same quality of parts and have technicians with the same skill set! The list goes on.......... I wouldn't expect most dealers to have much interest in a modified car.

So modding it to trade it in down the road might not be your best bet.

But if you want to experience 850hp of Cadillac fun, you are not likely to find it at your local dealership.

Well, I pulled the trigger and traded the Vagon. I dealt with Jonathan Davis, the owner of Davis Auto sports in Richmond Virginia. What a great guy to deal with, a real straight shooter. He had a 2015 white Z/28 with AC, 94 original miles. He didn't even mind if I drove the V wagon down to him. Got home last night after getting stuck in rush hour in DC and Baltimore. While test driving it, I made sure it broke 100 miles, and told him the price went down, it had over 100 miles. Seven hours of driving, and 365 miles, and I was beat. So now my car is used with 465 miles on it. Now I have to change my signature.

Only limiting factor would be the budget. What do you want it to do? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]
