Smart move passing on the overpriced car. Black does a good job at hiding the weird lines of the C7.

A black 2019 2LT Grand Sport coupe M7 popped up in my search this morning with about 7,600 miles on it. Looks mint in the pics.
Almost $30k cheaper than the vert Z06. I could pay cash for it. Going to look at it on Sunday. |

When I bought my Z06 it was a smokin' deal and interest rates were low so I didn't mind borrowing to step into it. Now I have a new house and other priorities for my money, so being able to pay cash but still have a nice Vette is an OK trade-off for me. |

For half that 30K difference you could add a centri or a maggy and have 600 crank hp and a very fun car

Well it's not like you can really push it up there. I was at Niagara Falls in 2018 and remember seeing signs warning of serious consequences for going a certain percentage over the speed limit. Between that and the exchange rate for money with stupid high prices. Then them trying to double dip the tip at Ruth Christie's we were glad to get out.

You only get the non-itemized receipt to sign once they run your card. When you ask for the itemized bill you then see the 20% gratuity was already added to total. I raised some hell when they tried this in South Beach a few years back, bill was $200 for lunch, had $40 gratuity alrready added, they wanted me to tip another 20% on top of that. After I paid the bill, only 20%, I did a number on their plumbing!! |

And it's something you could do on your own timeframe. And if you did that project, it'd be like getting a new car all over again, with it's noticeable change in performance. |

Then again, a great time to upgrade the pistons and rods and consider F-1A-94. With above may need cooling mods, will definitely need to buy a tire store. Ask how I know,,, |

IMO, when you change pistons & rods, headwork, with cooling mods, you are starting with a zero mileage engine.

Keep it at 600-650rwhp stock fuel system will be good. Keep boost 8-10# should be fine also. Limiting factor is stock fuel system and close ring end gap. Keep hp and boost reasonable and with a good tuner should be fine |

I think we were the only white people at the falls. Everybody else was Indian. And the deodorant was scarce. |
