I hope you end up making the right choice for you. Just dont gforet, not making the choice to buy is the worst choice.
Offense not taken but again false statement. Just found these two cars in the last 6 days but thank you for the feedback.

A lot of big boys behind keyboards tonight, it's quite impressive.

Thanks! I never sweat this stuff ever. I'm a grown man, with an awesome life and family. I'm not a 40+ year old man still living with mom in her basement, pounding away at a keyboard. LOL

Just opinion, you seem a bit testy. If you don’t like opinions don’t go on a forum and ask for opinions..best solution.

Didn't ask for derogatory opinions. I'm not testy at all, just disappointed with the arrogance of some folks on this forum. Maybe just bitterness of those still living at home with mommy. LOL

However, one is an 2011 Grand Sport and the other a 2008 Z06. Therefore, there are things to consider, heads, etc. If it bothers you what I am asking and thinking, you are free to not respond. Your obsession with my buying process is giving me confidence.


Lemme say...horseshit...you asked for opinions....now we are confident you are whining and a tire kicker.....I'd say let Beth decide. I bet she can make a decision.

Sorry boys not going to play into the high school stuff. I am glad that you don't represent the entire forum, there are so many helpful people here which is awesome! Glad to be part of this and get good solid feedback. For those that just want to write to get their numbers up or bash first time buyers, sorry you have no impact on us. Signing off

my opinion would be to first decide what you really want ie: model,body style etc and stay focused on that goal. I really wanted a Z and bought a GS instead because it was there and I hadn't found the right Z up until that moment. Now after spending thousands in upgrades to satisfy my wants I am going to trade out for something else which I will lose money on both deals.

You should be looking at the small-*** sway bars for one.. Increase the diameter of both front and rear one click..... Feal the smile it puts on your face driving "at speed" thru the twisties....

Oh well...

I have two more in my pipeline. 2007 Convertible, yellow and 3 owners or Gray 2010 Grand Sport with 1LT package.
I just bought a 2011 3LT (in my least favorite color) and I was really rooting for you to get this one, its by far the best car I ever driven and owned in my life, im ear to ear smiling everytime I think about it.

The car looks clean and one stock at 14 000 miles you cant find one anymore babied then that

I think people got a little frustrated when you pass because they drove it in the rain and on a gravel road? It shows you were not serious in the first place, and buyers like that do get labeled as tire kickers .

If the price was right I would go back and jump on it, if the price was average, or regular retail then no biggie just move on
