Good rule of thumb with the Vette market is to buy as new as your budget allows. I previously owned an '05 Z51 M6 car and had no issues with it. The LS2 is a great motor and with a set of long tubes, cold air, and tune it was a blast! Mine made 383 at the wheel with just those mods. The only thing to watch out for is the rear housing on the '05's is a weaker casting.
