I too have a 2015 Durango R/T. Love it. Its engine/exhaust note will tide you over until another Vette comes along.

I am BACK! (well there was a C6 Grand Sport in there too, but I sold that for this)

CONGRATS!!!

I really love that Durango. We may go for the SRT8 version when it's released but I have to say, WOW. Best SUV thingy ever!

Hear you there. If it were me, no sweat. Wife with kids and baby seat? Wasn't comfortable with it.

In the end it took 2 months of body work, so I KNOW I made the right move...

Had to make a quick decision and decided to trade the C7 in for another proper car for our family (Durango R/T Hemi). Just don't want to wait on the Jeep or have them driving some rental around. Will miss that C7, was the best vette I've ever owned by far, but will certainly buy another after all of this settles.

Strange how things change, but I am grateful that all are fine and that we were able to get that Durango quickly and easily!

Wow this was a great car tho...
WaW i had my vette accident on the 26th of november as well.

I'm glad that I'm fine. I'm glad your family members are fine.

Hope to see you soon in another veete, it's an addiction once you own a vette you keep getting back to it.

Hope to see you soon

just noticed your post was exactly one year before mine I'm glad you're in a vette again

Give us some comparisons between the C7 and the SS1LE.
Congrats on getting another Vette.
