Well, I ended up buying a used 2008 Jetstream Blue Coupe on Saturday. I missed driving a Corvette everyday. Here are some pictures from the dealership:



The LS3 motor is AWESOME! I love this Vette...even more than the 01 Z06 that I had. The car is loaded...3LT option package, Z51 suspension, Z06 style performance exhaust, two-tone interior, Navigation, both tops, 6 speed auto w/paddle shifter, clear bra, Z06 rear spoiler and more. I have a feeling that I am going to sell my C4, now. If I sell it now, I can get what I have invested into it. Also need to find someone who is interested in purchasing the solid rear 4 link suspension for a C4 as well. I ordered one from ski_dwn_it and it is ready to ship. Rear is spooled with 4.56 gears. Looking at selling it for less than the $4,995 that I paid for it. Would be shipped COD delivery (for only the delivery amount) from Jesse to you. If anyone is interested, let me know. Thanks!

Great looking C6.

So you're not going to build up the C4 for drag anymore?

What kind of deal did you get on the C6, if you don't mind me asking...

Matthew

Nah, for the money I would put into the C4, I can use less than $ 6,000 and be running 11.5 in the quarter with the C6 and still get mid 20mpg mileage.

I got it for $49.5k. List, if new, would have been over $60k. Only had 11k miles on it. The C6 had every option I wanted as well as the color I wanted. I am very happy with it. My wife is also very happy, as she now has the 07 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T that she wanted to begin with. We had to get the 07 Dodge Caliber for her to start, but now we were able to trade in the Caliber on the Vette. We both have the cars we wanted, now.

Sounds like a good deal for everyone involved

Maybe I can convince my wife that since the baby doesn't need store bought food for at least 4 more months that I can get a C6 with the savings
Probably not, huh?

Still, I love that color.

Matthew

Beautiful color on your new baby!

Oh, good news, Matatk...the rear area on the C6's is huge!!! Take a look at a C6 when you get a chance. You won't believe how much room is back there. GM claims 22 cubic feet of space. Heck, I think that is as much as the Charger we have.

Thanks!

Maybe that will be the selling point: honey, just think how much shopping we could do!

My cousin has a C6, but I still haven't even sat in it - last time I was over it was at the dealer (where he works as a salesman) getting new tires. I can't wait to drive it

Matthew

That's a beautiful color. I like the way you bought it. Knocked out some of the depreciation and you got a great ride. Did you get an extended warranty? I'd want the bumper to bumper $50 dollar deductable 25 year warranty on something like that.

Nah, didn't get the extended warranty as it runs $3800 to extend to a 5 year warranty. The drivetrain already comes with a 100,000 mile/5 year warranty. And that to me is where the major expenses lie. I love the color too...in goes from a pale metallic blue to a darker metallic blue depending on how the light hits it. And power...getting onto the FL Turnpike at Sample Road, it went from 60 to 100mph before I passed under Sample Road...and I wasn't trying to do anything but merge into traffic. This LS3 motor is AWESOME! I hate coming into work, because I would rather be driving my C6 around.

Congrats.

Looks like the C6 section will be getting more posts

Stunning car!

Congrats!

I'll have one in about 20 years or so.
