Own GT350, drove 2017 Corvette Grand Sport
- Thread starter Twinpwr
- Start date
I sat in a gs today, they let me turn it on (sounds mean) and pop the top off too. Im in love. Shit guys... i think im wanna go for a corvette.
Wait another brand new gm at 10k off of msrp?
The Corvette is a great performer. If you like the way it drives and looks and have no use for a backseat; you should buy one. Otherwise you might regret your decision. The GT350 is great, but it's not a sports car. It's a GT car with some sports car performance attributes. It's not light, it's not balanced and it doesn't have a low center of gravity.
That being said, buy a z06. Here's a new one for 15k under msrp and under 70k.

I think you will regret buying any Corvette close to msrp and the gs is too new to see huge discounts on.
C7s with less than 7k miles are in the frickin 30s already.

These cars tank in value at an astronomical rate. Which is what makes them such great values!

Very nice, looks great in all black. But you can have virtually the same new car, with another 200hp, for the same price!

have you gone for a ride in a GT350 yet?
No test drives aloud anywhere, Dont have any friends With one. So no. But i sat in one and i sat in the corvette and the presance of the corvette and the corvettes interior is far more superiour.
The corvette imo is just way more badass. Also you can start it with the valves open

I completely disagree with that but it is subjective.
The brand new gs linked above is already 10k off of msrp.
Never said it was an economically smart decision. But for the performance of the gs for that price. Im having a hard time convincing myself to stick with the shelby.
Jesus christ that would be insane in the gs!!!

If interior look/feel is the deciding factor for buying the car, you really are completely missing the point of the GT350 . If I were you I would try to find a local owner or mustang meet to hear and drive in one first. Vettes arent going anywhere, they are a dime a dozen and the longer you wait to buy one into the model year the deeper the discounts and the more free gold chains they throw in. You could take delivery of your GT350, drive it for a few hundred miles and if you really dont like it sell it/trade it for almost zero loss. Can't say the same thing about the vette.
The value of the GT350 will still be high 2 years from now. In that same time period, you'll be able to trade a stick of Juicy Fruit and a pack of forever postage stamps for a Corvette GS.
True. I drove both and preferred the feel of the GT350. The z06 is 100% purposebuilt. It's small and feels like you're sitting on the ground. Which makes it great for its intended purpose.
I wanted an enjoyable street car. To me the GT350 is more along the lines of a gts m4 or c63 black series coupe. It's well mannered in every aspect, but fairly capable for it's size.
But if performance and capability are what you're after I think the GS or Z06 wins hands down. You just can't **** with it, haha.
LiterOfFarva: you should create a thread with your location and ask a forum member to let you drive their car haha. It's too bad people can't test drive these cars.

Last i checked $6000 taxes will be lost and 5k off the 60 cuz no one will buy a used gt350 for msrp. So doing what you recommend would lose me nearly $10k. No thanks.
For real. Its ok i was one of them not too long ago.
Thats 1 reason i preferred the vette just by sitting in it. Feels like a spaceship cockpit, sure does feel like your sitting on the floor. Feels like your in a racecar which is what i want. I want the most hardcore sled for my money. Vettes where its at as far as that goes.
Dont think i have the patience to wait for some guy to trust me with his shelby. I know i wouldnt want my closest friends driving mine. I'll create that thread though. I just dont think it will impress me enough to change my mind, i've driven my friends 714whp whipple 15' 5.0. Its awesome but its still a gt car. Vette is next level.
A GS MIGHT be half a level higher than a GT350...might.
It'll be a few levels higher when i get that lt1 pumpin out 550whp all motor.
If your not planning on keeping either vehicle yes you are right, you will lose ttl and some money off msrp. But on the bright side you will lose ttl on the vette plus 40%+ off of msrp.
