Yeap, gotta read the fine print. Many rebates come from owning previous Vettes, trading a Vette or Chevy loyalty. Is crazy.

so you kept the nismo wheels.

congrats on the new vette.

i didnt know chevy also has that stupid mazda loyalty thing going on. that is so stupid imho. if a new buyer is willing to change brands, they should honor the same 'family' loyalty discounts.

who the f- is loyal to some japanese hyundai (mazda) anyway?

btw, nice 350 you had, and truck and bimmer too.

that 350 looks good.

Nice choice! After owning a LS6 and LS7, I think you made the right choice going with the GS and the LS3. There are a lot of great mods for that motor if you chose to go that route, and you don't have to worry about the semi-exotic nature (i.e. $$$!) of repairing/replacing the LS7. You also get the wide body, which looks awesome compared to the stock Vette.

Enjoy, and be safe!

Thanks, I love the wide body of the GS. I also prefer the LS3 over the LS7 as the LS7 has valve issues and I don't need all that power to be happy.

That's just the loyalty rebate. It's 3k, but there are other incentives. One can ALWAYS negotiate. I did

Congrats, tho. I am also your age and recently went from z to vette, tho I went used z06

Don't get me wrong, I got a hell of a deal but it took some patience and a lot of bartering. Another reason why I didn’t go with a Z06 is that is not a Targa. I love that feature, I also got the Glass roof!

The targa option had me considering GS, but I couldn't get over the z06's sound and feel. But I got mine certified and paid for 3 years extra warranty to cover my behind when the ls7 kills itself lol
