Default Sealed the deal on a new daily driver
2017 SS, 415/415 HP/Torque, auto, sunroof. Test drive convinced me. It is truly a 4 door sports car. The 20% off MSRP pushed me over the edge. $40K. I pick it up next Tuesday. Built in nav, magnetic ride control with three settings, paddle shifters, dual climate control, power seats on both sides, heads up display, safety features galore. All standard. The only options offered are a sun roof and a spare tire, this car has both. In "sleeper silver".

Was tempted to do the same thing. That 20% off is an amazing deal. Ends on 11/30... if they continue it till the end of the year I may get one. For the money it's a steal at that price now!

I was tempted to wait until Dec as well for a possible better deal. But the dealer had every color I was interested in so bite the bullet and signed the contract. Can’t wait to surprise a youngster or two on the on/off ramps and the traffics lights

The dealers are running out of cars now since that is such a bargain. I was looking for white and the closest to me was Virginia. Between work, my kids back from school and Thanksgiving it's impossible for me to get down there. If they extend it I may trade my 14 Audi S6 for one!

That happiness goes away quickly......you'll find "D" and sport mode is your friend after about a month...


And then there that time your using paddles and a sharp turn and you can find paddle cause steering wheel is turned so they are exactly on top and bottom....


Don't even think about that time you'll left foot brake forgetting you're missing a pedal....




Enjoy the car they are a great value...

The dealer I bought my silver car had 12-15 others in stock last Tuesday. Yesterday they were down to 3 black cars.Th is car is an absolute blast to drive, no one see's it coming . The stock exhaust sounds better than what came out of my 2017 C7.
