Default 350 went bye bye..:'(

I traded my IS in for an 07 Vette...I know, weird BUT for those who wanna flame here's the rundown...I had my IS & my S2k and was tired of 2 car payments plus insurance, I wanted something to replace the two & be reasonable in price and had what I had in both cars, this one fit the bill the best, I really wanted an M6 but I'm not rich!! It's quite fun, quick and of course Manual Transmission!! I absolutely LOVED my IS but I sold my S2k and needed a replacement for the two...

My father and uncles are all big time vette lovers. Between them the last 3 gens have been bought in both base and Z models.

I've driven your car, and it's awesome, really can't say much more that that! Congrats on one hell of a machine! The only thing I suggest is getting a chrome exhaust plate with a vette or Chevy logo, it looks perfect, it should have come standard.

hey, i was supposed to get that car also, but my parents weren't really ready for me to kill myself yet (haha), plus insurance was just through the roof. let me tell you that both me and my dad test drove it, and all i could think about while driving it around the block was--good god, this is the devil's car! its so quick. have fun with your new toy and be safe. definitely the best bang for your buck out of any car out there--cept maybe z06 .

I almost bought one of those when I was shopping. That was the color I was going to get. It's an awesome car and gets decent gas mileage also. How's the interior and tire noise compared to the IS?

Wow, that's a distinct change! Have fun with the 'vette. One thing can't be denied, it's more of a chick magnet than the IS will ever be.

Lol, thanks guys..the car is really smooth and relatively quiet and the seats are very comfortable, I was pleasantly suprised!! It's VERY user friendly compared to the IS nav/climate control..it's still auto but you can easily go up & down in temp and not have to adjust the fan speed in the climate screen which was annoying. But I do miss the high resolution nav & the rear camera. But it does have the HUD, XM radio (yay!) the top comes off and it has quite decent power and the handling is uh...well it'll stick to the road and not feel like it's gonna lift off at all (like the S2k). Oh and I like the pink buttons on the nav screen!! So cute!
