While you are right.....if you go car for car-new SS or new V6, then look at those upgrades, still way ahead on the V6.

And im building what I want. A sleeper...if I may ;-)

Yeah, but your not everyone, the one and only. I didn't say don't do it. Just put out another option that is out there that could be viable, in about the same price range.

You are right

But look at the pricing when I bought my car or you bought your car
new V6 was $21K

New SS was...$33-35?

You guys got that great close out gen5 deal, in 13 mine was 30, I got it for 28, and the autoRS v-8 was 36, and that was the main deal breaker -8 grand for 75 hp, more for insurance, more for gas. I love my six, and like I said, I would like to go FI down the road. Bringing up a 8 in the 6 forum is kinda dumb, I get that. I just brought up the used 8 with mod is in close to the same price piont as the six with 10 grand of upgrades

Your dealer does seem to have very good pricing. Has he moved your old ride yet?
