Default Goodbye

Guys it's been great fun learning about my C6 from you guys, as well as reading some great stuff and being entertained along the way. Thank you for your insight, knowledge, and advice.... but I'm moving on. I traded my vert in Saturday at a pretty great dealership - John Megel Chevrolet in Dawsonville, Ga. on a Laguna Blue C7 Z51 vert w/ 2LT.
I know I'll keep browsing this forum, but I'll be lurking in the C7 Forum more. Thank you all .... long live the wave.....

Tim

Traded my last Vette in on a 2018 Equinox 3 weeks ago. Wife needed another car she could get in and out of.

Bobby, why not a GS? Too much useless power in the Z06 in my opinion. Went for a ride over to Jersey today cruising on Rt.80 and wound up in Union, NJ. Came back via the Garden State Parkway to 280 west back onto 80 west and my top speed was 78 mph. Too many cars on the road to zip around faster than that.

Hi Billy, there was a nice car show today in Saddle Brook NJ right off Rt80 this morning. You could of stopped by.






To the OP, congrats on the new ride.

Oh I like the GS Billy but if the Z06 C-6 would have been available in an Auto like it is now I would have bought one of those.
I took mine out today for a little "just me time" and the damn thing runs pretty hard now, a notable difference
One thing for sure once you go wide body there's no going back.
I cant afford a Z06 so its just foolish wishin
Sorry for the Hi jack
