Hey guys, let me know what you think... I'm thinking of selling my 08' black is350 in order to get an 08' manual or auto chevrolet corvette.
My reasons for wanting a 'vette are -exhaust sound, -more intimidating, -manual, -V8!!!, better mpg (usually), -more tunability, -more room (I'm 6'4 and my head is on the roof constantly, -coupe, -faster.
I love my Is350 but things I don't like about it.
-V6, -exhaust (don't like the aftermarket ones either), -low amount of upgrades you can put on it, -Lexus rep that you get, -all the handling technology that kinda inhibits you from really drive the car,- all though by the stats it's a fast car, it doesn't feel very fast and doesn't throw you back inyour seat.

 

I'm not a big fan of the Vette's interior, but if you like it then I say go for it

 

did you test drive the IS-F?

 

Better MPG? It seems like you bought a luxury/sports car and expected pure sports car features. You say you want it to push you back in your seat and you want better handling to "really drive the car" and luxury cars usually don't have that. Go get a vette. Please get it in manual cause auto corvettes are gay.

 

Yeah I'm not too huge on the interior either but I could always get some work done on it. I haven't test driven an Is-F because that's out of my price range, if I were going that expensive I would rather get an m3. And base corvettes get 29 mpg on highway going 70-75 and that's Bose stock with out any air intake work or anything. I definantly like the manual more but I live in Atlanta which has TERRIBLE traffic.

 

Better MPG? you must be kidding!

 

"The Vette gets 'em wet." lol

 

Haha love it!

 

go for it. vettes are pretty BA if you ask me

 

looks like ur not really a lexus lover eh... m3 over isf? ... m3 is crap when it comes to luxory.... why would u go for bmw i mean m3 is a sick car no doubt... but isf>m3

 

for your situation, ditch the 350 and don't even think about getting the 250 in a manual if you don't like how fast the 350 is. you will be highly disappointed. get a black c6 z06 and put black rims on it....let's just say women won't be the only ones getting wet.

 

i say go for it... i actually was looking into a vette before i purchased the lexus...

 

What exactly is wrong with the c6 interior? The c5 I agree, stinks, but I liked my c6. I had 2 tone black and cashmere, the 2 tones look good. And yes the vette does get great mileage, to work and back I averaged 21mpg. It'd get 28 to 30 @ 80mph all day on the freeway. There's a '07 c6/Z06 for 47k over @ corvetteforum.com in the f.s. section. It's an atomic orange one, looks hot.

 

Go for the Vette!!

Surprised you dont like the 3.5L engine. I think its one of the smallest NA V6 that produces 300+hp, NSX might be at @300 hp.

 

^uhhhhh VQ?
