You ask how torque is useful, then suggest one should get gears for their S2000. It seems you know the answer, but just for the record. Casually pulling away from a stoplight is easier with low-end torque. My S2000 just begs to go to redline at every shift. I hate to short shift her. The Z06, while I can take it to redline, it doesn't need it. I have no problem short shifting it. the difference? TORQUE.
BTW -- When it comes to outhandling...
Here is me driving my S2000 on the track:
Here is me driving my Z06 on the track:
Have you driven either an S2000 or a Z06 on the track?
Dude. Do you have a high res pic of the girl in your sig?
have you driven one? i have and it doesn't outhandle it in terms of road feel.
how is torque more useful? so you can get to the next stop light with a trailing cloud of smoke.
seriously, though, the vette is nice, but not cheap, bad depreciation, not reliable, not as exciting to drive, imo, and a S with gears is pretty fast for my standards.
get the vette. i've said it before: if you're asking the question, it means the love is gone.
Do you own a calculator? If so do me a favor...
Look up 2002 Z06 values and 2002 S2000 values. You will find they are almost IDENTICAL in depreciation. The Vette is the one Chevy that doesn't drop like a rock in depreciation. Both cars are about 38% depreciated over a 4 year term. So I guess not as many facts are right as you thought. Might try doing your homework before opening your mouth...just advice.
do your own math. i dont want to argue since we ought to be on the same side of things, but 38% of a vette is a WHOLE lot more than of a S. anyways, buying brand new is a poor financial decision anyway you spin it.

It's not THAT much bigger overall. It is a little bit longer, a TAD bit wider and it is much shorter overall than the S2000. It just seems bigger because there is so much more interior space.
The C5 Z06 offers the best bang for the buck out there. The only downside is the number of bucks to get there.
Don't let the fanbois and haters tell you what to do, go with what you like.
