MSRP $90k...? - Page 3

Memphis SS · 09-20-2023, 05:28 PM

I’ve thought about selling mine and getting another Corvette down the road, my wife wants me to hang on to it. It’s a 2017 2SS with 1,065 miles. I spend more time rubbing on it in the garage than driving it.

You're running a museum or a car, brother? Drive that thing, I can almost hear it begging to stretch its legs.

+1 on what arpad_m said...

Question though, where did you get that 455 HP badge under the hood?

To each their own. And I respect and love your decision, but will never understand that, ever. My ZL1 is ~6 months old and has 5x the miles.

I get a GT2 RS... I will drive the damn wheels off of it going to the grocery store LOL!

And Back a the OP and jamala00 <--- even at 90K there is nothing that I would jump over to, and with my car it compounds even less - manual vert. Find me that car for 90K

But the markups suck ass.

I too have experienced those Zen moments. ABSOLUTELY beautiful time capsule and KUDOS for the achievement.

I have learned on this very forum that if "its your money" you can do whatever you want with your vehicle...

LOL… I did put it in a national car show in Bowling Green in the Corvette museum years back and won Adam’s celebrity choice, Top 20, and Best of Show.

Awesome on the car show best of show win! That has to feel great.

Thanks for the link. I'm going to look into that. Hope you don't mind? I don't like to do something someone else did if they were looking to have something unique?

Thanks, I’ve added a pic from after the awards, it was a really fun event.

Not a problem, I just put on a set for my buddy on his 2021 SS vert.
Here a better pic of the emblems on the motor after a good detail job.
I have also updated my oil cap with the mobile 1 logo and went to the 0W-40 oil

Sorry OP for getting off topic!

Ya, those really look nice. It really adds a nice touch.

No worries on getting off topic. I think every thread does that eventually.

Was at Hendrick's in Cary a little while ago and no Panther CEs. Apparently Rick's is going to the dealer in Durham but this is in the showroom. Already sold for $135k. Service guy plaved a video of them starting it up and driving across the lot. Sounds pretty sick.
