Default Sold my Z...went to the "Dark Side" with the Vette

I love my Z...It has been great 2 years with the car. But I have been thinking about getting a Vette for a long time.....I know, I know...it's "Domestic" as some of you may say.. but Vette has been one of my favorate cars and I have to own once in my life.

Well that time is now. My real target is to get Skyline when they come to US and it will be another 2-3 years before I can get it anyway. So in the meantime, I have decided to get a vette.

Traded my Z for C5 Z06. For those of you who hates Vette and never driven one, I strongly recommend a test drive. You won't be disappointed.

It's been a pleasure being part of Z family...Please no flames....who knows, we'll meet again in GT-R forum...

sweeettt.. good luck with the vette.. I also have the same urge. I especially like the classic body design. Maybe when I'm entering my mid-life crisis I will own one. For now, I'm enjoying the Z.

Have you read the book "All Corvettes Are Red, The Rest Are Mistakes" yet?
Good book I'd recommend to a new Vette owner.

Congrats. At least it is a step up. I got sick of the "trading in my Z for an STI or Evo" threads. You can now "feel the POWER of the Dark Side".
