Man, that car is BEAU-ti-Ful!!

My neighbor has a 2001 base Vette with 13K miles. He was thinking of trading it in for this exact same car. He wants to get it in Red however his second color choice is Yellow like yours. He is a life long Vette guy, so he will not have a problem with that Loyalty thingy they have.

G/L with yours. Your MOD list looks great as well.

Aside from the Stats, how does this car drive in real world compared to the Z and Nismo Z?

Interested in your impressions.

I loved my 350z, it was fun to drive but the Vette is way more powerful. I like both of them!

You should stick manufacturer logos behind your bumper so when you light it up, others can see your victims. Hold the hamburger logo, for our sake

Congrats man! The Grand Sport is a great car. Unless you find an amazing deal on a Z06, the GS is a better deal at like $15-20k less. Having raced in both, the Z06 was only marginally faster on the straight. Granted a better driver could probably show me the real difference, but for me there wasn't a big enough difference to warrant the price.

I agree, but a pro in a Z06 WILL put a hurting on the GS, 99% of us, will never see the difference. Though, IMO, other than "looks", a standard C6, 2007+, isnt far off the GS, say at least 10K less too.However, for the looks, and the "few ticks off", its worth it to alot.
