New Vette

Re: New Vette

this darker shot is great, it is a beautiful color. I have a black 08 C6 with the same ebony/titanium interior

Thank you. My first Vette was black, my second was velocity yellow, and the Camaro was black, so this blue is gonna take some getting used to.

Re: New Vette

Man, the Camaro is just so sinister. I love Vettes, don't get me wrong, grew up with them cuz my dad was a lifetime vette guy, but the looks are a little soft. I LOVE the aggressiveness of the Camaro. But you are totally right though, when it comes to driving it, the Camaro can't touch the Vette. GM can intrude on the Vette's HP with the Camaro but it will just never handle as well. Way too heavy.

Great looking car. I'm extremely jealous. I know there is a corvette in my future.

And that's one of the things that drew me to the Camaro, it's aggressive looking, unfortunately, that's where the aggressiveness ends. Don't get me wrong, I liked the Camaro, just didn't love it like I have my Vette's.

Thank you. I wish you the best in getting yourself a Vette, it's a fun car to goof around in.

Sharp C6! My dad sold his '05 vert in April. No doubt that the Vette is a better car than the Camaro. Congrats!

Re: New Vette

Thank you. Yeah, the Vette and Camaro, are two completely different animals.

Re: New Vette

Looks great. Are those wheels new for 2011, or am I just out of the loop?

Thank you. Yeah, they are new to the 2011, I don't like em at all. I'll probably replace them with something else, after the first of the year.

Re: New Vette

Glad to hear you came to your senses and got rid of the joke of a sports car now labeled 'Camaro'. There have been some hideous sports cars over the years, most of them in the mid to late '70's, but the new Camaro is right up there with them. Going from a C6 Corvette to a Camaro seems a bit backwards, but thankfully you made it right.

Supersonic Blue is just stunning, too.

LOL thanks. I like the looks of the Camaro, but after owning two late model Vette's, the Camaro just wasn't doing it for me performance wise. Yeah, going from a Vette to Camaro seems backwards, but I needed something with a backseat at the time. Things worked out, and I am now in Vette #3. It took a little while for SSB to grow on me, but I like the way it changes color depending on light. Sometimes it's blue, sometimes dark gray, sometimes it has a purple hue.

I think they look great. Curious to see what you put on!

LOL thanks. They remind me of the shiny star stickers, teachers put on A+ school work 35 years ago. Not sure what I'll put on it yet, have a few months to decide.
