Default '08 vs. '11???

I drove to Hendricks today for a shirt, and ended up with a '11 C6 Coupe. I didn't drive or get in for it's the same as mine, but I must ask are there any differences between the 2 Coups.

I'm curious what made you upgrade if you aren't sure of the improvements over the years? Color? Options?

Default why?

I did it for the three years, and the mileage. Also I love black/ black.

Hi neighbor! Variable ratio steering, bluetooth, and chrome look surrounds on front and rear crossed flag emblems were introduced on the '09 models. There may have been some other minor changes since then.

If it makes you happy then go for it! Life is short buy your toys now and have fun. My vette always makes me happy when I look at it and especially when I drive it.

Default I've got it

Picked up the car today and I love it. It steers better and the dual mode exhaust is a nice change. I'm glad I did it, and thanks for the comments.

Odd "upgrade" but people can certainly spend their money as they see fit

A bit of a spur of the moment purchase, but it is a Vette so enjoy your new ride.
