[ODDJOB UNO]

ya know i just bought its kuzzin...................a 2011 Z71 TRUCK! it has a bad azz 5.3(yuck yuck), and more damn buttons than my lil brain can handle, and i freeking STOLE IT on both ends, the trade, and the bottom line beat their azz up price. list on the damn thang was $41,411. HOLY NED when i looked at the steecker. i got 4k on my 226,871 mi old Z71, 4k off due to incentive and the bottomline was 28K. thats ONLY $1000 more than i payed for my 1999 Z71.


they wanted to chew both my arms and legs off to make a sale. plus i have bought there before, and the G.M. is my neighbor and sold me another Z71 at another dealer back in 1994.


so...............how does this apply to yer vette. 1st a new super-duper charged carbon fibered what ever the hell model full race winged gawd damnit was $122K on the floor here in snobbsdale ,az. and i fit in it like a glove. they are sweet and for road tripping and making some ser-i-azz time, ya cant beat 'em.


i owned andre agazizz the tennis dude(sp-he was a pig and the car reeked)old vette, it was a 1994. and i seriously debated not buying it due to my 6'3" size. i bought it anyway and really bottomline after awhile of dinking around with it,decided to sell, and didnt loose a dime. nice car just didnt fit.


now the last time we took the super duper showroom stock cab from hell to inde motosports down in wilcox,az on their road course, guess what the instructors use. new vettes. they also snagged some pretty good instructors from bondurants firebird course. we had to follow the instructors on increasing speed laps to get the feel for the course and its multi rightys and leftys. i happened to be behind a new vette and numerous times while following instructor, while he was showing us "his" hot lines i felt i could have downshifted and cut down low and smoked his azz in the corners. i have played with a few vettes thru the twisties and eaten their lunch each and everytime on spirited highway jaunts,so i kind of know an apple/apple comparison in real life situations.



buttt......................on the straights..................well my lil POS 3.2 had its azz handed back by the big bad vette.



for 20K and all the zoomy ge-stuffen.........................i say GO FOR IT! each and every design has its p + and -'s. the ONLY BOTTOM LINE to think about is HOW MUCH FUN PER BUCK equation.



the new ones i fit in. the old ones i felt like the last sardine stuffed into the tin.
