Default Goodbye ISF; Hello Corvette

Well, I hate to say it, but I traded in my 08 ISF for a 2015 Z51 Corvette.

I've really enjoyed the ISF for the 4 years I had it, but I've been wanting a corvette since I was a kid.
I found a local dealership that had the exact car I wanted and was willing to make a deal.
I'll definitely miss the rear seats, but I absolutely LOVE the Corvette.

Here are a few pics before tint, clear bra, side skirts, and stage 2 splitter.

Congratulations. Those c7's are definitely something to look out for.

that stroller looks like it has a frown on it.

Thanks for the kind words.

It's a 7 sp manual. One thing I didn't love about the F was that it was an automatic.
Auto is nice in traffic, but I really love a manual trans.

Now that I'm looking at those pictures I realize that I have my stock ISF wheels!
I guess I'll have to post those for sale. They are piano black with Blizzak snow tires on them.

I would LOVE a Z06, but a little too much for me. Found my 15 Z51 3LT for 50k. I couldn't pass it up.

Biggest difference between the Z51 and Z06 is the wide body kit and supercharged engine. Z06 is about 20-30k more.

The GS isn't supercharged. It has an AMAZING body kit on it though.

Actually the new Vettes hold their value pretty darn well. The cars are built a lot tighter than they used to be as well, the jump in fit/finish on the C7 Corvettes is day/night compared to previous models.

Anyways, congrats on the purchase!!!! 50k is a smoking deal, 3LT means pretty well loaded, right???
