Default New 2013 GS is on the way!!

Sold my 10 GS and bought a 2013 GS at almost 15 grand off sticker. It's in Louisiana right now and will be picked up by Friday and brought home to Michigan.

Crystal Red
3LT
Heritage Package w/Ebony/Titanium Interior and Light Silver Stripes
Chrome Rims
Dual Roof Package
ZR1 Spoiler
Red Calipers
NPP



But I have plans to change out the Nav to something better and add an amp and sub woofers once I get it. Will also sell the tires and put Invos on.

This GS makes it my 4th vette, all C6 models. 06,08,10 and now a 13.

Maybe this one will hang around a bit longer as the C7 just isn't doing it for me.

Yeah I know. The 06 was a narrow body, the 08 was the move to the LS3, the 10 was the GS and the 13 of course is the GS.

Really wanted the 13 as it's the last year for the C6 and 13 is my lucky number.

LOL.

I can't stand the road noise of the run craps. Had Invos on my 10 and loved them. Noise level went way down.

Bridgestones - Michelin's - both make superior ZP options

Did some research and I think I might go with the Bridgestone's.

So anybody here have the Bridgestone runflats?? Are they quieter than the run craps?? And do they perform well? How about rain?

SSB was my first choice but could not find one with all the options I wanted.

Had JSB last time and loved that color. CRM has always been a color I wanted so now I get to try it out.
