I've had good experiences at Carl Black in Kennesaw and Andean Chevy in Cumming. Not sure if those are too far north for you, but I can PM sales person info if desired. Reasonable prices, not pushy, etc.

Thanks gents. Looks like we'll be driving north tomorrow.

Vladimir at Jim Ellis Chevrolet in Chamblee.
I won't trust my car anywhere else.
No blaming me to get out of warranty work.
No excessive driving to test for issues. They drove less than 1 mile to test for my ticking sound when turning and fixed the issue.
No "we can't replicate the rattle". They know of the issues and fixed them.

Only problem is they only have like 1 Corvette tech so it takes some time to get your car back.

I’ll second Andean also. Ask for Joey!

GM Frank there was good to deal with. Corvette owner himself.

Yup, but Joey likes better cigars (haha).

(agreed, I've talked with Frank before also. Good people over there)

Reggie was awesome. I ended up not buying there but I will if I ever order a NEW Vette. I bought a used one from Buy A Vette. Those guys are awesome too.

Jim Ellis in Atlanta. I live in Chattanooga and I bought my first vette from them a little over 3 years ago. Good people

So we had a long day of test rides. Wife drove the Vette Grand Sport, Mustang GT (shopping a GT-350), Lexus RC-F, Infinity Q 60 Red Sport, 911 S.

Hands down winner of fun to drive was the Vette, but the lack of room is a major drawback. Second place fun to drive was the Q 60 Red Sport. I've rented these in the past and agree with her assessment, a very underrated car. Last place was the Lexus RC-F, so bad she didn't bother driving an LC500 which has the same 5.0 motor.

Ultimately she chose the Q60 Red Sport for all around luxury, room, and most fun to drive except the Vette. She states the HUD on a Vette is an absolute must to avoid tickets due to speed creep. I'm actually surprised she chose it the way she was giggling after the Vette.

Thanks for the advice on where to go.
