It's been decided
Well, the time has come for me to say adios to my car. I haven't sold it yet but have made a decision to sell it. I did at some point have it here for sale, it ran for about 1 week maybe 10 days, but only had 1 inquiry and from Canada. I wasn't rushing on selling it, but there's a lot of cars here with mileage of 35K and up and from 04 and newer that was close to my asking price even though I have lower mileage of 20K, it wasn't enough to peak any interest from potential buyers, so competition is tough not to mention today's lazy car market. So I decided to have it locked by the mods. I won't get another car until fall of next year, but I figured might as well sell the car now than lose more value next year. By the way, I am jumping ship and will go to the yard of Vipers. Hopefully to get in a 2001 or 2002. If not I'll settle with 98,99 or 2000. This forum have been really helpful and I really learned a lot about Corvettes. I am hoping to be back in the saddle in 10 years when my house is paid for and I can afford to keep both the Viper and the Vette, but for now I can only afford and allowed to have one. I have a couple of items for sale that was going to be installed on my vette before I decided to sell it but never got around to installing it.

Yup, no plans on getting the Viper until next year. So I will have no toy for the time-being which would make me a jealous, jealous man until I get another toy. So hopefully I can sell it.

Honestly, when driving my Vette on wet roads, it feels as though my traction control ain't working.
And the ABS, haven't felt it work since I bought the car -because I suppose I never needed to use it - I do have spirited launches here and there from a stop but I do follow the speed limit + 10 mph.

Drive one before you buy one. I think they drive like crap, are not comfortable, and the A/C sucks something fierce. They also cost 150% more to mod. I'm sure you know all this so GL on the sale.
