Your not alone. I traded my 2012 4LT GS vert with only 1100 miles in on my 60th Anniversary 427.
The 427 is so much more car than my GS, theres really no comparison. It has quickly become one of the all time favorite cars I have ever owned.

Brian,

Think we just traded pm emails---living in Indiana I strongly recommend you get the splash guards we discussed as you will have sand, rocks and debris on your roads like we do here in MA. Anyway, can I ask you for a favor-----could you please measure where your 60th side emblems are and let us know. A few have purchased these and now the trick is figuring out where they go (dealers aren't much help). How far down from the crown in the curve above them? Are they at an angle---one end being lower than the other---or are they following the angle of the curve? How far "in" from the vent? Maybe use the points at the ends as the measuring point. Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

Congratulations!

(And thanks, I was feeling guilty when I considered getting rid of a Vette with 15,000 miles.)

It was a kind owner like you that allowed me to get behind the wheel of my 2012 GS Conv with 5,000 miles on it for what I could afford, nice acquisition and enjoy!
