I'll be in the market in a few years, and I'll keep the NEW vette stingray in mind, used of course.

That's funny, the vette happens to be the ONLY performance car my GF likes.

Love your car! I'm also going to be selling my Z for an upgrade either this year or next. I'm eying the 2014-2015 vettes. I love the looks of my Z but have to have something with more power.

And for half the price of a 2011+ it's a no brainer.
Makes a lot of sense... I just always been a boost addict. Vettes pull hard as hell though and its cheaper to maintain. I'm still about 18/24 months away from that decision though. We'll see? Thanks for your perspective.

I was looking for one in orange. But the best one in my area was the jetstream blue one I bought. If identical z06's were next to each other, I'd take orange over blue, but I'm very happy with jsb as it is.
