Traded my vette for a Camaro

[WICG2772]

I am not a vette person, so I like the Camaro better. Love the color too! Congrats!

I never wanted to take it anywhere for fear of something happening to it from somebody else. So I sold it and bought a new sky redline. It has been a lot of fun as a DD, and I rarely miss the vette. Of course since then the Camaro came out, and all I've ever done is drool, so mine is on the way.

So , you get my drift.....Thanks !!!!

i'm not going to bash the concept of trading a vette for a v6 camaro, but it sure does seem like you may have been screwed financially on your trade.

Read the whole thread . I still owed $17k on the vette .

If you know where I can find some, please let me know ASAP.

Ton of SS Camaros for sub 30K out there......V6 ones for even less.

Come to Florida . Tons of LS3's for low 30's with low miles . You could buy a new 2011 1LT vette for $40k , just go to the corvette forum and look for a supporting vendor dealer . If you are serious they are out there but you will not get a highly optioned car .

Well , it's not ALL about the horsepower to me . I can understand your line of thought . The process being , what will I do without the extra power ? I could have bought an SS Camaro . I actually drove one but it was not worth the extra money to me because the V6 feels like enough HP for me . My line of thought was if I get the RS package with the roof and polished wheels it looks just like an SS pretty much and I can pay it off quickly .

Comp. grey spyder wheels . Stock sizes . 18X9 front and 19X10 rear . They are aftermarket wheels but OEM replicas . They ride really nice . No wobble . If you are interested I can hook you up with the place I bought them from . Just shoot me a P.M. and I will look for the receipt .
