Hello. Currently own 2 04 GTO M6s. One is a daily driver and the other one was my fathers and is an 18k mi garage queen. I usually spend my forum time on LS2.com and LS1GTO.com.

At 41, it's time for me to have a proper mid life crisis. I figure a new Grand Sport might do the trick. Was actually thinking lease as this would make it a bit more mindless to get into a C7 down the road.. Not sure if the lease deals are good. Time to do research. I have $1300 GM miles, and the GF can get "Supplier pricing" for what it's worth. Not sure if her discount can help me though.

Thanks for reading, and have a nice day. -Jamison

Coming back here to follow up.

I actually purchased a Corvette. 1LT M7 vert Ordered 2/12/15, built 3/11/15 and currently waiting for it to show up in Iowa as of 3/29/15. I was saving my pennies trying to buy a used 996 or 997 Porsche Turbo, but wasn't able to put something together I was comfortable with. Rented a '14 Corvette 2LT A6 convertible in Vegas last fall and really liked it.
