I dont agree with that...even audis have better interiors.
Obviously you like the MB interior since you have one on order. Have had MB's before and the interiors are not that nice, lots of plastic. Looked at the SL 63 and SL 65, still not that nice. I would put the interior of my M6 up with any MB. I have not looked at any Audi's recently, the dealer didn't have an R8 back when I was looking for a car.

Thats the only way I'll do it if I can keep the 550 and have the Z06. I agree that the Z06 would not be great as a daily driver.
oh, then of course! haha if it was me, I'd probably try to shop for a used one on the cheap, but its not like there are any ZR1s out there, so Z06 is the best you can get used today... yeah, hell yeah! Get it! What color is it?

At 60k brand new would be a real bargain too (though again, I'm into buying used on the cheap).

If you are keeping the 550 AND can get the Z06 then it's a no brainer, DO IT!!!! Then you have 3 fun and sick cars (yes, I love the 62 Vette)

I will be keeping the 550, I'm looking at adding the Z06. I just saw a '09 Z06 in Cyber Grey Metallic yesterday. I like this color a lot more than the black one. It's a little more than the '08 Z06, but its got the options I want and the color is perfect.

LOL, Circles, LOL> I raced a friends Z06 and there was no circling at all. He did take me but only by 2-3 car lengths reaching 150mph. Yes, the Z06 is faster but its not the same. I test drove Z06's, Viper coupes and others and the M5 just took me in. Lets say I fell in love. It has everything a guy like me would want, well, almost everything,

What about the CTS-V I was watching Top Gear and seen the CTS-V blow by the vette on a curvy mountain.

The CTS-V is supercharged, all stock Vettes except the newest ZR-1 are NA.

The CTS-V would be nice but since I'm planning on keeping the 550, it doesn't make sense to keep 2 four doors.

What are you waiting for? Go GET IT?!?!? We wanna see pics. Besides it will be a really fun addition to your collection. BTW, +1 on the color you chose, it looks great, much better.
