Switched over to the Dark Side - Corvette

Z_Monzter · 07-29-2013, 06:31 AM

Ok, my background = Owned a 2004.5 350Z Touring for 7 years. I bought it brand new and loved everything about it. I modded the crap out if it short of a tt setup because I PCSed to Germany (Military) and ended up buying a BMW for the wife and an F150 for me.

My Z:

My BMW: (still have it, is my wife's whip!)

My F150: (Still have it)

So when I got back to the states I quickly realized I missed my Z but with the truck that was much needed to tow our new boat I was stuck like chuck.

So I started lurking arround this forum again and felt in love with the Nismo 370Z. I wanted a red one and was committed to buy it. I decided to wait until 2014 to get the new two tone. Test drove a 13, felt in love with it.....

And then the unthinkable happen...I test drove a Corvette C6….

That was it folks, I was in love. So my search for a good deal started. I wanted a Red Grand Sport M6 with 2LT. Every one that I found was overpriced and the dealerships wouldn’t budge since I’m not a previous Vette owner. But with patience, I found this amazing Velocity Yellow and bought it last week.
Now I can sleep waiting for her to get delivered to me. Hopefully by the end of the week she will be here with me!

Here are a few pictures of her sitting at the dealership: 2013 Yellow GS 2LT 60th

Saw a 2012 ZO6 black on black yesterday. Beautiful, beautiful, especially in person.

Poor guy driving was so old it took him legit 3 minutes just to get out of the damn thing. I was standing there like an idiot, waiting to compliment him forever.

Respect our elders!

I'm actually deciding on whether or not to supercharge my Z or get the new stingray.

IDZRVIT · 07-29-2013, 08:53 AM

Nice 'vette. Now you have something to trade at the dealers when you get the itch for the new C7!

LOL, indeed.

I'm only 33 so no issues here!

Wait, what kind of dealership was that? Looks like a roadside or parking lot?

Seriously, though, love the color setup on that!

Yes they drove it out of the dealership to take some pictures.

Thanks!

AyandehRacing · 07-29-2013, 10:09 AM

Any modification/upgrade plans?

Must be pretty sick out of the box, it looks like maybe some rear window tint and smoked signals would really give it that black n yellow contrast/pop

You are right. I already ordered a 13 piece blackout kit and will get the windows tinted as soon as I get her in. Other than that keeping the engine stock for now as it comes with dual mode exhaust.

so dealerships won't negotiate unless you already own a vette?
