Went to a chevy dealership today...
 

And I drove a 2010 Camaro 2SS.

Then I drove a Corvette 1LT.

Corvette = win.

I'm SERIOUSLY thinking of trading in my Z (only way I could do it) - am I nuts?

I know many of you here traded a Vette in for a Z and do not regret the purchase....why? This car (to me) outclasses the Z in performance and has style to boot. The Camaro...just seemed pretty average. Big engine, not a lot of personality. I liked the exhaust bubbling on decel though...lol

One thing though, seems there's a really STRONG dealership for corvettes somewhere - I don't remember where it was mentioned but for internet-based sales, it was mentioned that the prices can't be beat.

The other thing is that this dealership said they are selling at MSRP. $3K cashback, which about 2/3rd is being used to make up the difference between what I owe, and what they can give me for the Z.

Thoughts/advice?

corvette grand sport ftw

A lot of Z owners came from C6 vettes or older model vettes? I couldn't imagine taking a downgrade like that unless I was struggling financially. I would be happy with even the base C6 corvette; it still blows the doors off the Z. Not saying the Z is a bad car or anything though. I wonder what insurance is like however...

<3 c6 vettes... z06's are especially fun to drive........... with traction control off :)

Yeah, I'll be checking on that tomorrow.

I checked on the Camaro, and oddly, it's $77 cheaper than the Z / 6 mo.

I'm also looing over the "deal" they are giving me...I'm not quite sure it's a good one.

They are giving me a trade allowance of $31750 for the z. (Black on Black Sport/Touring 7AT, 3300 miles, Fast Intentions cat-back, Stillen G3, 20% tint...9.95 condition). The Cash price on a bare essentials C6 @ $49880 (which is MSRP + delivery).

$289 processing, $10 Filing Fee, differences on owe/trade in = $49255.00.

Given my fuzzy math, I should tell them "give it to me and take my Z, for $45K" - and it be about right given Edmunds pricing...

Thoughts?

It's your call. I don't think I'd trade my Z in for a base camaro SS but for a C6 (Z51), yes I would. I live two blocks from WORLD'S Largest Corvette dealer. At any given time, there are at least 50-100 corvettes on the lot. I drive by them 8 times a day. I must say, Z06s are very tempting.

I drove F-body Camaros for a long time. It's all fun when new, then things start rattling, parts start going bad etc. Heck, I was afraid to push my Camaro because every time I did, I broke something :(. Something went wrong or a rattle started etc. This is just my :twocents:. Go for a 'vette :tup:

Get TT's for Z :)

Not with a 7AT :(

Sure you can!

:crying:

Id keep the Z over a base C6...the grand sport id consider..the Z06 id trade it in.

Not if I intend to drive it anywhere after having an afternoon of fun with it.

I don't like automatics anyway. I got this because I thought I could adapt, and end up liking it, and not get myself in trouble...

I found out I can still get myself in trouble, and that it's more of an annoyance than massaging a clutch in traffic.

A true Z fanatic? Are you going through a mid-life crisis?

It's a default "title" - I never changed it. I think it's due to my post count.


The answer to your other question is yes...I think...at least...I hope.
