Well, I too sold my 8. She went to a good home and the new owner had already registered on here befor he picked up the car. Below is my new ride. The 8 was fun, but this car puts a stupid looking grin on my face from ear to ear.

BTW, for fans of the "Hot wives/girlfriends" thread, Ill be sure to post any new pics of Missy with the Vette here as well.

 

I just made a thread saying goodbye to my 8 today mate, got a 2008 C6 'Vette. I know the smile you are talking about, lol.

Very beautiful car bro, enjoy the beast.

 

First everyone was selling their 8 to get a BMW, now it's corvette's...

 

Another vette? makes me wonder if i'll be getting one some years down the line.

 

That's exactly I was thinking......what is up with that???

 

i'd take a stang over a vette any day...however, my wife hates the look of stangs...she loves the 8....guess I'm in it for the long haul

 

c5 vette's with 40-50k around here go for $20,000. Cheap for the amount of performance you get. I would get one, but I don't want to look like a douchebag driving that in to work making the same amount of money as my co-workers who are driving civics.

 

Yeah, I seen that. Congrats on the C6! They are still a ways out of my price range. My theory is a Vette is similar to an 8, but with power to spare. The Corvette has a near 50/50 balance, due to a transaxle design. The biggest thing for me is the sound. Mine has dual exhaust with an H pipe and no mufflers.

And the kicker is....................................I AVERAGED 31.2 MPG on the highway at 70 mph!!!

 

justin nice buy. i will have to check it out sometime. who did u sell the 8 to? and did u 8 have K&N sitckers on it?. jw.. hit me up.

 

Nice buy. You definitely need to lower that though. The gap bothers me. Haha.

 

Uber wheel gap FTW! lol

 

is it trade an 8 for a vette and pistol discount weekend?

2 8s traded in, 2 vettes purchased.

my condolensces :'(





im kidding, enjoy your new ride, ive been close the last few days on finally trading mine in for the exact car and color of that car that has become available in my area via private seller... ive teetered the idea DAILY.

only 10k miles for an 06.

 

Very nice lotus! I used to work near the lotus plant in Scottsdale Arizona and got to drive by and see them outside parked all the time. We have a few of them that frequent the SCCA autocross locally in Phoenix as well.

I love the color too.

 

I know Reed! I can't believe how friggin good the Vette's gas milage is. I made it from Wilmington, DE to Winstead, CT and only used a bit over half a tank of gas....242 miles total! Average gas milage was around 29 MPG. It would have been better, but on the NJ Turnpike, I was just too tempted to open up the taps, lol.

 

Wow, nice Lotus! Those cars just SING around a track too mate, very fun car! Good luck with your decision!

 

^ obviously that cat selling it is rich.. see a classic porsche in the backdrop and a huge 3x2 stall car garage

I emailed him saturday just to go down and take a look, maybe he will give me a peak at his other toys!

 

Congrats and enjoy.

 

I believe the new owners name is Nick. He actually lives a few miles from me around Rochelle I think. No K&N stickers on my car though. I also gave him an OEM spoiler I had for the car that I never put on, so it might be sporting that now.

Ill have the ne car out at Hooters this Sunday hopefully.

 

Enjoy. Nice ride.

 

Been thinking of a similar Elise acquisition myself caveney. Go for it!

 

I get a stupid grin on my face when I eat pie!

 

lol wow this is true.
Congrats and enjoy the new ride

 

last jack on OPs thread. I have a testdrive setup for saturday morning.

 

You can never go wrong with a Vette. Nice buy
