Farewell, Fairlady.....

TheGreatOne · 12-04-2013, 09:11 AM

Have fun with the Vette, sorry you never connected with the Z.

I have to say the Z06 has grown on me, mainly ones I've seen that were black on black, but friend had a beautiful ZR1 Vette in red with lots of CF and that thing was beautiful. Interior was much improved on the last one (not as cheap looking)

Honestly if I had to consider another sports car and it wasn't a Z, it would probably be a Z06 with a ZR1 kit or an Audi TT RS

If I go 'vette, it will be a C7.

The OP got a faster car for little money. Nice job.

I am liking the C7.

I am also liking the Alfa C4.

The point people are missing is that in the forum's heyday we didn't treat departing members like this. When someone decided to move on there was no, "wow, this car sucks," or "what a downgrade" talk. Instead it was a simple, "good luck!" and we moved on.

When someone spends time on the forum to participate and contribute I think we at least owe them a bit of respect. There's no need to denigrate someone's choice. It's not an A vs. B thread... it's a "Hey guys, thanks, I had fun!" thread.

Some still get it, many don't. But I digress...

The way I see it enjoy what you have. If you are fortunate to one day move up in the echelon of things, good for you. But please don't be a hater, not everyone has to like what you like.

OP, congrats on the vette. Maybe I will find myself in a C7 Z06 one day. One can only hope 'til then it is the Z life for me.

Congrats on the Vette, what are your plans for it?

That platform has a ridiculous amount of mods available for it so you will have your choice of whatever you want for it.

Supercharger, wheels, exterior, interior, exhaust, intake, etc.. are all readily available and with the LS responds really well to mods

Post of the year...

I know so many people who no longer post here once they moved on from the Z community since they don't feel like they can effectively participate but if we were all more cordial to people who move on from the platform we would have an easier time retaining members

Good looking Vette. Enjoy it!

Grats on the trade, and hope you enjoy it!

Just curious, what compares favorably against the Z that makes the Corvette better for you?

I know that will be trollbait for some, but I'm always genuinely curious and totally respect someone else's opinion, even if I don't share it.

What it all boils down to is, I am just a blue collar, red neck, Earndhart lovin' NASCAR fan who grew up on Chevy and Ford. Even though I can appreciate the refinement of foreign cars, they really don't do anything for me. I would rather have a 7 year old American muscle car than a brand new foreign sports car. It's just a matter of taste, that's all.

That's as honest as you can get.
