Actually: The Grand Sport package has the standard Steel frame and LS3 motor with the improved braking of the ZO6 as well as the widebody panels of the Z06 that are rendered in plastic instead of carbon fiber. Only the Z06 and ZR1 have the aluminum frames and carbon fiber body panels. All of them are great cars. The other advantage (in my world) is that the top comes off on a Grand Sport...not so on the Z06 and ZR1.

Seems the car you want comes with the same engine you have now in the "Maro"...

However, it is a good price for a brand new Vette. Having stated that, the optional wheels are $12k !!!! Makes the $5500 for the optional wheels for our cars seem cheap. Oh yeah, anything with a Vette is expensive, used to hear it.........yeah, he owns a Vette, he can afford it......

As much as I dislike that term, I think you were a bit harsh on the guy.

Anyway, I would do that trade if it were me. A twin turbo SS is cool but I wouldn't want the potential issues that come with that.

If you want a Corvette, I think you are looking at a very nice one.

You seriously need to make a picture for this "MARO" comment.

It depends on how you feel about the Corvette looking out dated in a couple if months.

In my opinion the Corvette is like the Mustang it's time for a change. That being said it didn't stop me from buying a 2013 GT500...

If you can get it out the door for $51k as advertised, it is one heck of a price. I was just looking at the Dodge website to see if they had up the 2013 Challengers and they do. I punched in the comparable options I have on my car, minus the convertible top as they don't offer one on the Challenger, but chose sunroof instead. All done, $51,000+, which is a LOT of money for that car, or what you can pay for your Vette. And I do think a Vette is a notch or two above a Challenger...

Please amend the forum rules.

No politics.

No religion.

No "Maro".
