Well it's been 3.5 years with the Z now and I am getting the usual itch for a new car. A few days ago I put in a factory order for an 08 Corvette Coupe.

I ordered an Atomic Orange w/2-tone interior(ebony/cashmere), Z51 package, 6-speed manual, dual mode exhaust, 3LT package, NAV and polished/forged wheels. I am getting a $59K MSRP car for $52K which is invoice. Not too shabby a deal I think.

The Z has been great and so has this board. I actually haven't decided on what to do with the Z. I have about 4 to 5 weeks to think on it as I wait for my Vette to be built. I am trying to decide on whether to take the easy path and trade it in or put it up for private sale.

I know I will get more in a private sale but it can also be more of a hassle. My wife, bless her soul, told me I should keep it since I don't owe that much on it. I don't think it's practical to have TWO 2-seater cars.

Well thats it just wanted to share.

 

Congrats man, hate to see another one leave but good luck with the new ride. I love the vette.

 

So you bought another one?

 

^^ + 1 good find dave . back on topic enjoy your new car man . corvette are sick .

 

I think he meant to write "two". It would be impractical to have two two-seaters.

 

I meant "TWO 2-seater cars".................

 

any feature mods plans ? these engines respond very well to mod . should be a beast to drive.

 

I wouldve went with a 4door beast like the MB C63. Running low 12s and carry 5 people, decent trunk for $60k.

 

Good choice man. If you don't owe much I would possibly keep it but otherwise trade it in as it also stops you from paying tax on that much money so it may also save you an extra 2k from what your trade is worth and it really saves the time if selling the z. But good choice.

 

Let the wife drive the Z.

 

Great idea. Even my wife might let me get another 2 seater if I gave her the Z

 

let us know after you get the vette if you miss anything about the z, if thats possible with all that horsepower youre gonna have!

 

good luck man.

pics when you get the vette would be swell.

 

congrats! welcome to the lsX family...im sure you will enjoy it very much. the same it is happening here, with the new g8 coming out and 05 vette prices dropping from the intro of the ls3 it looks like it is becoming that time to add another ls2 to my family

 

Congrats on the new purchase. The C6 is such a nice car. Wonderful lines and great power. Enjoy!!

 

Nice upgrade. I know you will enjoy the power. Keep the Z for the wife. See how that goes until you pay it off.

 

i love corvettes... congrats!

 

Good choice, I wish I could get the vette, I would like more power

 

I wish you well. I tried to buy an new 08 vette with the same equipment as the one you have ordered. Drove five, yes five new corvettes and all had quality issues that discouraged me from buying, so I bought my 350Z.

I was an active member of the corvette forum and when I posted my story, I got many, many a hole responses about the piece of junk I was buying etc. It's nice to see the 350 Z forum members being gracious and positive about your new purchase. I truly hope you have better luck than I with your new corvette. Vettes are/were great cars, had two of them in the past. This is my first 350Z and so far, it's great.

Again, congrats and good luck.

 

give your Z to your wife!
