Do I dump the '03 Vette ???
Well, The vette was my life-long dream....and it is fun...but, I have been wondering if maybe I should trade her in.
I've been thinking of several, here is the latest to peak my interest.
420 HP Hemi SRT-8 Grand Cherokee
Am I crazy

I don't think I could give up my vette 
But I only have about a year of payments left, so maybe have both
I bought the wife a Hemi Durango last March....just love it.
I also have an old Cherokee. So maybe trade that one in instead

I am not sure i understand the question - up here in the great white north we unfortunatley have to have 2 cars. 1 for summer and 1 for winter - i have my Vette and an 05 Avalanche i have often thought about just having 1 vehicle maybe a H2 blown and tricked out - BUT that would be no fun in the summer Okay how abot an Cayanne Turbo - still not a sports car, then waht about a all wheel drive 911 - its just not a vette. Bottom line while i was never a vette person before my C5 i am now hooked- hook line and sinker and nothing will replace it, period
the Jeep is a Jeep nice but NO VETTE. Just my .02
Oh, and VERY MERRY XMAS TO ALL

How about a Trailblazer SS? At least it has a Corvette motor!

I have had two jeeps they are nice cars but a vette is a vette their is alot of difference like no one looks at you in a jeep but a vette that's a different story.Jeep is nice for winter, do the vette for the summer.

if you trade in the vette you will most likely regret it. as a kid growing up i remember talking to a neighbor who told me how much he regretted getting rid of his vette, and ive never known anyone who traded a vette in that didnt kick themselves later. Jeeps are nice but best thing i would guess is to wait on the Jeep till your vette is paid for that way you can have both. Best of luck!

Our opinions probably aren't going to help too much. Have you tried the GottaHemi?forum.com? I'm sure they're nice, but I've never personally been attracted to SUV's that aren't really striving to be SUV's. Or maybe there's more "sport" and I prefer more "utility." Nothing wrong with that.....some like chocolate, others like strawberry. If I were buying a Jeep, I'd want it to be a Jeep like the Wrangler Rubicon. The "tuned" Jeep kind of makes me think of a lifted 4wd Corvette kind of ready to go offroad. Me? I'd keep the Vette.

I saw one a couple of weeks ago - it was awesome! If I was in the market for an SUV, that's what I'd buy....and it comes in the only color that matters! BLACK!Maybe Santa will bring you one....

The other half rented on (wasnt the SRT8 tho), man, what a piece of crap!!!! Not comfy and just plain sucked!
Keep the vette, the SRT8 is going to have issues since it's the first year out, always happens!
