Blasphemous
I have gotten the C8 2LT Corvette bug.
What is not right is that I will be selling my perfect 911 Carrera. 94k miles but I love the car. These old timers that I hook up with in our retirement age are still going after cars they don't need but want. I mean, It is one thing to be cruising the Blvd in a Carrera at my age but a mid engine 490 HP Triple Black with camel brown interior and a clear plexiglass cover over the engine is too much to resist. I have owned a 66 and a 67 stock in the past and got burned in the seventies, like a lot of us with the Vega, Pinto, cheap plastic El Camino and Rancheros. I haven't dropped the down payment because I don't trust the hype. Is it a crime to off the Porsche or any other high end sports car for a Chevy? |

Shun! Shun the non believer!
Life is short...buy what you think will give you enjoyment. Sell what doesn't. On a new model like the mid engine 'Vette, you might consider waiting a bit to see if there are issues...the hype is strong right now.

I think I'd enjoy one and it wouldn't even have to be the C8. At least you aren't talking about getting one of the new Bullitt mustangs! ![]()

I went from an SC to a C6 Z06. Two completely different cars. The SC was a nice driving car. The Z06 has gobs of power and I can spin the rear wheels with little effort whenever I want.
I say go for it, we're all car guys/gals here.

I never really knew what "triple black" meant. Thanks for the schooling. I for some reason thought it was just a quality high end gloss black paint job.
So.. no triple black for me. I got to have the leather camel interior. Single Black I guess. Last edited by Rapewta; 11-04-2019 at 05:30 PM.. |
