Any LS powered Corvette fans here?

[bigunit00]

I realise this isnt the corvette forum but got to admit when you compare these to other machinery at this price pt for "bang for your buck" it seems pretty cheap with the monstrous LS7 engine. Does anyone here aspire to move to something like this after a monaro/vxr8? or is the 2 seat /LHD drive thing the big issue? I wouldnt mind one at some stage. Something a bit different.

Def, would love one, but the dealers that bring them in and sell them on are making a mint on them, £36K for a 6 year model !!

yes good pt. I was thinking more when you compare it against other cars of similar performance (porkas,fezzas) and what some people end up spending modding their Monaros/R8s etc. Cam / SC one of these and not much would keep up and you are only down £50k.

True

When you look at how much ZO6's are in the states and add on import, shipping and VAT they don't seem too far off the mark price-wise. That one's been up for a while though so price could be haggled down further I reckon!

There's also a red one on PH but it's got awful, oversized wheels

Apparently thats been voted a better car than the ZR1 which is heavier and doesnt ride as well.

Price not terrible for mileage and "if" its a genuine 08 MY then thats good as they get the tr6060 trans and a few other upgrades.

Only issue is LHD. Which makes a nice car slightly painful for tolls and car parks etc.
Driving isnt the problem, its administrative tasks

I was/am very tempted by one. But you cant really use the power and its a bit showy. A boring sedan thats more practical wins me over.

Always had a love for older vettes, but for my money the interior is hideous compared to the Monaro. Love the pipe exits and that engine, but couldn't handle left hook and the cheap plastic interior would need stripping out and leather conversion undertaken...

Some of the most recent Vette's are stunning looking cars, and superb performers..

Why the hell they put the steering wheel on the wrong side is crazy ! lol

Love the Vettes, all of them except the C4's. That ZO6 has been hanging around for some time, could be the colour.

Ringrams Price £29995.

The ZO6 is not nice to drive on the left IMO.
