Trade in my SS for C6 Grand Sport? - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

stt816 · 07-23-2018, 08:45 AM

So right now I've narrowed it down to..

Corvette C6 grand sport
Corvette c7 base
Bmw m4 (20ish thousand miles)
6th Gen Camaro ss

Any thoughts?

Out of the choices, personally, I'd take I'd take a low mileage C6 GS. But you have to decide which one fits you.

C7 bass because it has many improvements over the c6 gs

UBB · 07-23-2018, 09:46 AM

6th Gen ZL1 1LE

I would go with the c7 base personally if no need for back seat, then probably a c6 GS or a 6th 1le. Id consider those two close but in that order. Not a BMW fan.

Get a C6 GS, Enjoy it now while it’s still newish. Then get a C7 later, you’ll appreciate the C7 more after owning a C6

So why not go for a c7 right away?

C7 will have higher depreciation

A used one? Don't really agree with that. They are already readily available for cheap on the CPO market.

I wouldn't take a used BMW if they gave it to me.

The reason why I'm thinking now might be a good time is I have no reason for a back seat. What are your thoughts on this?

attached is what I'd be looking at

That looks awesome. Is that factory?

Me either - if I was forced to take it I’d sell it and get something else. Here’s a good ZL-1 v. M6 vid I saw recently:

Correction - I wouldn’t mind having this BMW:

Royal Tiger · 07-23-2018, 07:21 PM

I’d take the M6.

As for the S1000RR, it’s one of my faves, but not more than a 1299 Panigale or RSV4.

That has some mods to it...I really like the m4 but I don't like the reliablility and cost to own after warranty is up part...basically is probably gen 6 ss vs C6 gs vs c7 base..having trouble

I saw on the c7 base it has a snow mode? Obviously I wouldn't expect it to plow through snow but do you think it's any better?
