#759 of 914 Never had a Vette by luckylou Aug 04, 2006 (8:03 pm)
I have been debating for a long time whether or not to dip into a Corvette. I am no longer spring chicken , drive a 2006 LX470 that recently has become very bored. It is scary to indulge myself into this expensive vehicle and reading your post makes me wonder. The Lexus service is impeccable , if you a loaner , No Problemo. I am still thinking maybe should get SC400.  Any help welcome   Lou Replies to this message: starrow68 (Aug 05, 2006 1:24 pm) jayelleseven (Aug 17, 2006 4:45 pm)

Replying to: luckylou (Aug 04, 2006 8:03 pm) This issue becomes one of miles of smiles! If service makes you smile, and it probably does, then stay happy. If Just getting in the Vette makes you smile like I do or for that matter like my wife does then it might also be for you. As noted several times, I tried to keep miles off my 2002 C5 by first driving my old daily driver, Pulsar, and then getting a '95 Vette. In both cases I finally gave up since driving the C5 was so much more fun, even just going 5 miles to the BART station to work. I really like this car. YMMV Replies to this message: jayelleseven (Aug 17, 2006 4:45 pm)

Replying to: starrow68 (Aug 05, 2006 1:24 pm) for an 06 or 07 Vette, Black on Black Coupe with only Z51 package. Anyone know of any dealers in California (or Nevada Arizona, near by) that will take GMID? I only know of a dealer in Redwood City so far. Thanks!!

I've loved driving my S2000 for the past 5 years but it is a love/hate daily driver. Love it when the top is down and you can stir the gears: Hate it in congested traffic, bad weather, and especially with top up and windows closed. I'm ready to have a little easier time of it.   After reading many of the forum letters I've decided to avoid the Z51 option (live in a winter climate). I need the coupe as being a triathlete I can actually put my bike in back! My questions revolve around sport seats or not, and which transmission to choose?   I've read little about sound systems. Does it matter? Is the exhaust note that good?

Replying to: defrit2000 (Aug 19, 2006 7:12 am) I took delivery of my 07 Vette 4 days ago. What an great car! I did not get the Z51 option. I also live in a winter climate. I got the coupe as it has the best of both worlds. The weather has been warm and thus I have had the targa top off. With the top off and the windows down it comes close to the convertible. I got the 3LT option which was not cheap but brought many options including the better seats. I cannot compare it to the base seats but the upgraded seats are excellent! The 3LT also includes the upgraded sound system and XM radio. I have had XM and thus was already spoiled. I highly recommend it. The C6 is very comfortable. I will use it on some short and long trips and have no reservations whatsoever in doing so. I have not owned an S2000 but almost ordered one. The reviews that I read however were very negative on the car for any long distances and as a daily driver. The trunk was small and amazing (to me) was the fact that car insurance was cheaper on the Vette. The car is awesome! I have gotten so many positive comments on the car in the short time that I have owned it. I strongly suggest that you test drive one. I think that you will be pleased. The exhaust note is good but not great unless you really get on it. I got the manual and cannot fathom anyone getting the automatic. However, half of the Corvettes sold are automatic transmission. If you are in heavy stop and go traffic then I guess that it should be considered but to me the 6 speed manual is half the fun of driving it. Just an amazing car!!! Hope that this may have helped in your decision.
#764 of 914 Buying a 2007 Corvette by vete07 Aug 20, 2006 (10:14 pm)
Never had a Corvette, but always been dreaming of owning one. My favorite exterior color is Victory Red. However, I am undecided of whether to order it with a black interior or red interior. Can anybody make any recommendations on the pluses and minuses of each color? Really apprciate it. Replies to this message: jayelleseven (Aug 21, 2006 12:26 pm) saholz (Aug 21, 2006 1:17 pm)

Replying to: vete07 (Aug 20, 2006 10:14 pm) the red interior really looks too bright. Not in a good way at all. You should consider two-tone. try to google for some photos. Replies to this message: saholz (Aug 21, 2006 1:17 pm)

Replying to: jayelleseven (Aug 21, 2006 12:26 pm) Of course those of us who have the red interior think it's great. Personally, I like the red/black treatment...not too bright at all and it adds some style to the interior. My car is silver and it's a perfect color combination.   Color is all about personal taste, so don't base you decision on what anyone else thinks. Look at the combinations yourself and decide what you like best.   Stan
#767 of 914 This time its personal... by toquinho Aug 21, 2006 (2:16 pm)
No doubt color choice is personal. Definitely agree with Saholz. You got to go with what looks good to you. However, do keep resell value in the back of your mind as you're buying. I understand that bright colors (inside or out) won't help you to resell the car. Personally, I think red interiors can look great in cars (I like the reddish-browns in BMW M3s and some of the reds in Porsches), but I'm not a fan of the Corvette red. Reminds me too much of my mom's 1988 Caprice.

Thanks everybody. Your inputs really helped a lot. I am really not thinking about resale, but your inputs (especially saholz's) on contrasting colors was great! Replies to this message: pony_pirate (Aug 22, 2006 11:29 am)
