ha ha. I was thinking the same thing. I always find it funny becase i was shopping for a SRT8 challenger or GT500 when i bought my 08 Z51. yet poeple say they don't get cross shopped.

I was shopping for the SRT8 Challenger as well until my wife trumped me with 110 additional HP and a convertible top on the ZL1. I win either way.

The Centennial GS is sick bro...I would keep it.

Although, if it was a Centennial Z06 more people may be tempted

two totally different cars though...two seater v.s. 2+2
Also, I had a vette, they feel lighter around corners, but having driven the Z06 for over a month now everyday, it feels really planted when taking fast sweepers in the canyons or jumping on the freeway.

Ha! those are the closed minded people who aren't true car fans.

I have a dealer who will order a 13 for me how I want it for even money. Might take that deal if nobody here gives me instant gratification

Yup, I specifically cross-shopped GS&Z06 with the ZL1. The ZL1 just seemed more interesting to me, but I like the Vettes.

Nice vette

I'd keep the GS for sure, especially since it's the Centennial package.

[SSOOCH]

I'd keep the Corvette. IMO.

Keep the vette and buy a ZL1. Thats what I did. My vette is a Z06, no Centennial Pkg but, it is a fine machine. Even with more HP in the ZL1 your vette is going to feel like it has more power just because it is so much lighter and smaller. When i get out of my ZL1 and into the Z06, the vette feels so much faster with much greater acceleration. BUT, I would NOT get rid of the ZL1. Just a completely different feel, and, a GREAT one at that!

Yep. Went to purchase a ZL1 yesterday and came home w/ this. GS LT3 w/ magnetic ride control and auto. $10K cheaper than what they'd sell me their ZL1. Gotta say I think I made the right decision for me. May be a ZL1 in my future just not today.

Don't have a ZL1, yet, but I would tend to agree based on my SS. Two very different machines. 1,000 lbs makes a huge difference not only in acceleration but handling. More than I expected. Way more.

How does the handling compare between the two? Does your 'Vette have magnetic drive control? If so, is there a difference you can 'feel' between the two? If you could only keep one, which one would you choose?

Jefe, that is a great car. You picture just inspired me to want to trade in my 5.0 for a GS. I think I'm gonna go pay some GM dealers a visit in August.

The 0% ends July 7th IIRC. Not sure if it's important to you but free money is free money.

Thanks as well.

I've never seen the Supersonic Blue with the Competition Gray wheels before, I'm not really a fan of that color but the wheels make it look pretty good. I want to get a GS convertible at some point. I've spent way too much money on my C55 to get rid of it any time soon.
