RE: My New Vette
i love those new vettes so much. although your jag is still sweeter. lol. my mechanic is a Vette FANATIC. he has gone through at least 15 over the last 20 yrs. He always has it parked at his shop. He just traded his red 06 in for a new white one with the black and red leather interior. its so awesome! Congrats on urs though I love that color!

RE: My New Vette
although im not a corvette guy it looks great in that color, that and the white make me think twice...now all you need is a supercharger, racing wheels, brembos, and an exhaust
lol my buddy did that to his black on black vert. and it sure did drive nice...enjoy it & the great gas mileage they get!

RE: My New Vette
Congrats. Is this your first Vette? I still have my first (and only) Vette which is a 95 Torch Red coupe that I bought for my 46th birthday, 13 years ago (do the math).
You will find that these cars are amazing reliable and relatively easy to maintain. Gas mileage is also not bad considering the horsepower output from this large V8. Going to and from work on city streets was not good (13-15mpg) but once I get it on the freeway, mileage was about 22-25mpg.
My adoration between my old Vette (which I am sadly trying to sell) and my newly acquired 2005 XKR is interesting. When I am driving the Jaguar I love it and look forward to selling the Vette. But when I am driving the Vette I love it feel that the Jaguar is no comparison (at least in shear seatofthepants enjoyment).
Both great cars but in a totally different way.

Yes this is my 1st Vette.
Yeah you need timeto settle down specially when u coming from a Jag. But once you get use to it then theres no comparison with other cars in that class. This thing is Sheer Power
I got this when I was 38 years old (that was last year )Jaguarnaut
