Made the same swap from 06 Z51 to 11 GS in December and am thoroughly enjoying the new car. The shifter's shorter throw is wonderful - almost Miata-like. And gotta love that new car smell!

I'd love to post some pics, just never figured out how to and i find myself pretty good with computers. Why cant you just paste them in.

congrats for getting the car "just under msrp". The dealer made a lot of money on the sale.

Unfortunately OregonC6 is right. 10%-12% under MSRP is considered normal in today's market.

Plus if you traded in your 2006, the dealer made a killing on that also.

Congrats, great color choice! I've got a '10 GS coupe, 3LT, NPP, PAL, NAV, Heritage Package, Full Width Rear Spoiler, and Comp Gray Wheels. Mine's Cyber Gray, red fender stripes and red over ebony interior, 6 speed manual. You'll love the color, and you'll LOVE the car!

Live and learn, we all go through it.

Congratulations on the new ride. I saw the same color/wheel combo just the other day and liked it a lot. Thought it was the best looking GS in the lot. Lots of Vettes to choose from.
