Nice Z.

kfull · 12-03-2013, 07:49 PM

Good luck with the vette, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters.

zeeder · 12-03-2013, 07:54 PM

Congrats on the new ride! I may have to look into a C7 as my next car but it'll be a few years.

Jasonle · 12-03-2013, 07:54 PM

Nice color choice!

RonRizz · 12-03-2013, 07:58 PM

Sweet! Love the color, too

gbrettin · 12-03-2013, 07:59 PM

Wanna sell your tow hook?

Trips · 12-03-2013, 08:13 PM

Congrats on the Vette, She does look pretty!!!

Firebase99 · 12-03-2013, 08:22 PM

I would never trade down my '13Z for a 07 C6. My buddy has one (track car only-hes has a few bimmers for DD), modded all to hell, we run at Sebring and he's fast!! Its just so...blah. Even with his mods he's bored and agrees the Z is more fun. Not as fast but more fun. Not a Z nuthugger, he thinks his 135 is more fun too. Its just the C6, getting a bit long in the tooth.

Edit: Sorry, didnt mean to sound like a pretentious twat, enjoy the ride, its still a cool car. Just not my cup of tea.

Sorry to hear about your midlife situation but congrats on the vette. Seriously, hope you connect with the Vette.

b15 · 12-03-2013, 08:59 PM

Vette definitely isnt overpriced. In my opinion, its a fairly cheap car for what you get performance wise, it's just not my style, just like the Z wasnt the OPs.

Congrats on the new ride. Enjoy!

Did you pick up the new lady at Stoudt's? A few months ago had been eyeing up an Atomic Orange one they had down there.

No, I think that one's still at Stoudt's. I live only a couple miles from there. He has nice inventory, but doesn't like to deal on price much.

fzgood · 12-03-2013, 11:02 PM

Hope the new car brings you the joy your Z didn't. It is a looker. Best of luck!

cv129 · 12-03-2013, 11:25 PM

congrats, have fun with that torque monster, that should be a nice contrast

Fountainhead · 12-04-2013, 08:58 AM

I have always thought of Vettes as grandpa cars, I'm 53 and that opinion hasn't changed much. I've never seen a young guy driving one, but I guess that's an opinion not a fact.
I don't begrudge you wanting one but they just never have appealed to me, don't know why, they are definitely badass haulass cars for sure.
If you like having one I'm proud for you.
Stick around and keep us up to date on your experience.
