New Grand Sport
Well The misses finally went down and bought her Grand Sport
She is happy as heck.
I know it's a 2LT with the Carbon Fiber roof panel and some "heritage package" (?). Has a front facing camera, so hopefully she won't knock that front spoiler off.
They had it Dealer Stock. She got a pretty good deal on it with the dealer discount and the 10% off special. I think that dealer was just glad to have it off of their lot. I think they have most of their vettes at 10% off + right now.
They gave her pretty good money for her 08 Pace Car trade-in also.
I don't know chit about the newer Vettes. Hope it's not a turd. She bought it for the looks. Hopefully it will keep her happy for a couple of more years, I am just glad she doesn't trade me in for a fancier model.

The newer Vette's are awesome, if she is happy that is all that matters.
Take your time, read the owners manual and search the forum for questions you have as there are tons of new tech and features since 2008
Congrats! Love the color.

Is she going to take advantage of the discount for track school at Spring Mountain?

Thanks. The 08 Pace Car Replica only had 16000 miles on it when we traded it in, I bought it used about 5 years ago with 3k on the odometer, So she is good for about 3000 miles a year. I am sure at 1st she will put a couple of thousand miles on it, but after that she drives it to work on Fridays and out with the girls , So 2-4 times a month.
I doubt if it ever sees 100% throttle.... and will never see a race track.... Such a shame. I sold my the Viper I had, but I tracked it several times, ... Maybe I should take this for a spin
I betcha I didn't put 300 miles behind the wheel of the 08. I am 6'5 and it's just to cramped in there for me.
