Upgrade wasn't sad at all, quite the opposite

.

...It was sad to let BEE go...

I am the kind of guy that gets attached to every owned vehicle and BEE was at the top of the list so far.

I get it I would feel the same about mine. I came close once looking at a used ZL-1 a couple years ago and letting go of my current SS was going to be really hard. Someone beat me to the deal which made it easy for me in the end.

Nice choice! C7 looks great...Good luck with it!!

Chevy Runs Deep · 12-06-2017, 02:17 PM

Awesome and silver looks great on the C7. I have said I'd only trade my camaro for a vette. You will miss her but on to bigger (smaller) and better things. When I almost traded her on a gen 6 I started having buyers remorse b4 signing. Just something about the 5th gen look I love. I did not see it as a 10k upgrade. Regardless of the performance, a camaro is not a vette. You made the right choice. My wife vetoed the C6 Grandsport I wanted, that's how I ended up here (no back seats). Now that I've got another truck a backup, my next vehicle will be a corvette. Bucket list for me. Congrats. Enjoy!

Iam thinking really hard about trading in my 2010SS for a leftover 2017 torch red 1lt myself. Been approved just trying to bite the bullet.

You got to do what makes you happy man. I love my 17 I don't think you'll regret it. 5th gen was an awesome car as well though.

Godon Hutchinson · 01-23-2018, 05:54 PM

Well I just bit the bullet and put money down on this 20171LT Going to Ohio Thursday to pick it up. Happy to get it for sure, But im sad to see my 8 year old SS go.

Congrats, you won't regret it! Yes, I know it's hard to let the Camaro go...

Make sure you come over to the www.corvetteforum.com

It just adds to the experience, moving from one performance platform to another. I've loved every performance car I've owned, some a bit more than others. I can't explain why, but this Camaro has held my attention a bit longer than some others.....The day will come though, I know that for sure.

Hard to say goodbye but I'm loving the replacement!!
