I want a new daily driver! I got laid off last May but since Aug. I've been double dipping with severance and a new job
My info gathering and driving several cars, has lead me to lean towards the `08 2dr Corvette coupe 6M. I drove a 2010 Z06 a couple of weeks ago and felt nice, acceleration felt almost as good as my play-toy (`72 Buick 455). The problem is I feel like I need to limit myself to $40K for my purchase, this limitation brought me to the `08 Corvette 2dr coupe.
Here are some options I really think I want:
6M, HUD, drilled & slotted rotors, Tilt and telescoping steering wheel, AM/FM/CD Changer/MP3, upgrade flap exhaust, split spoke rims, front sport seats.
Other options I'd like input on:
Leather/Linen wrapped interior, universal remote?, steering wheel controls.
I know when buying a used car you can't choose your options but I'm interested in your inputs on them.
I hear the Bose system is marginal at best and would like to hear inputs on upgrades possibilities. I've installed several systems in the past be it on other cars. Should I not worry about this and install my own (somewhat of a hassle).
What can I expect performance wise totally stock 1/4 mile runs for 6M `08 coupe? I assume I can run a high 12 without doing anything special.
What things should I check to help insure I'm getting a good, unmolested car? I'm hoping to purchase early Feb. 2010.
Hello and welcome to the forums...I think you will find many answers to your questions, browse around the C6 general and technical areas, you will get a feel for what people like and dislike about the features you have listed. I found this out before buying my 08 and it helped in the decision once I wanted to purchase. Again, welcome to the forums
