Default Bye Chevy

Just bought a GT-R 1 hr. ago from local dealer. Premium package.White with black mirrors and spoiler.Same as the c-7z51 that I never would have got. Picking up Wednsday and stopping by my ex chevy dealer and show it off. Too bad chevy is dissapointing so many. Plus it costs me 30,000 more but it is worth it!

Good for you! I guess you never learned that sometimes the best things in life are worth the wait or worth doing some homework before you plunk down a deposit. Shame you didn't just cancel your order and look elsewhere. I was in a similar situation. I cancelled my order and found the car I was looking for through Kerbeck. Heck, I could have even ordered my car from one of the forum sponsors who actually have an allocation and would have had it in short order too. Had you actually done your homework before ordering from a dealer without any substantial allocation, you could have avoided your quagmire and had your C7 by now.

Good luck with your Nissan and have fun on the GTR boards. I am sure you will be happy. You will never know what the C7 is really like so you won't have to miss it.

I hear you. I was so disappointed in the C7 that I bought a Lamborghini Aventador, a Ferrari 458, and ordered a Porsche 918....

Oh wait, that was someone else.

So, you joined Corvette Forum just to post this? You're going to be very popular here. Or maybe you joined the GT-R forum right after you joined Corvette Forum and posted that you bought a C7 and SAVED $30,000.

You should get a hobby.

And IBTL for me....thanks to the OP for the lame thread so I can jack up my post count.

Sweet! Could you post some pictures of it from the back? I've never seen what it looks like.

Congrats ! I to was going to buy a gtr. Was looking at 2010's but to get a lower mileage one I was looking at 65k or so for that.

So I decided to go with a new z51 instead for 65k with all the options I wanted. I ordered Dec 15th the car will be here in 3 weeks

I hope I made the right choice going with the c7 I love the gtr but I do think the c7 looks better and it's new rather than 2-3 years old

White gtr was my 1# choice !

GT-R--the car that looks like it was designed by a committee. The performance is very impressive but price is nuts.

This is your FOURTH new thread post today crying about your order and how you're going to buy a GT-R.

Congrats troll--no one here cares--have you figured that out.

Go have fun with the Nissan lovers in their forums.

Adios TROLL--HIT ROAD !

PS - Post a pic with the paper plate from today so we can see that hideous....I mean beautiful car .

No offense but I just can't see myself driving something so ugly.

Then again, I can't see myself dating Rosie O'Donnell -- but there is something for everyone I suppose.

Picture yourself rolling up to the country club with a nissan gt-r. They will think it's the new altima.

GTR to me looks like a bloated 370z. Yeah, performs well and when it first came out was priced right. I can't see how they now justify $100k for that car. And it's lacking the most important thing....a good ol' American V8. Enjoy your rice burner. And thanks for coming to a corvette forum to remind us all how we saved $35 grand by buying a better car.

But you can put a nice coffee can on the muffler to make it sound like a Maxima

The last good looking Japanese car, with the Honda NSX coming in a close second.

Know why Nissan changed its name from Datsun?

Nissan Engineer: We have a problem with the new 280Z. It only lasts for a few weeks and then breaks down!

Another Nissan Engineer: Dat Soon?

Hope you enjoy your hideous overpriced four seater! I have friends with street legal firebirds that have smoked those ugly soulless turds.
