Welcome back Bickety! I understand the reasons for making that decision, Hopefully you enjoy your new mustang. I guess this is my final wave to you as a fellow vette owner, but I have a feeling you'll be back someday.

Dealer doesn't want to inventory my Z06, so he is trying to get someone to buy it. He called his Chevy dealership and they offered 32k...for a mint 2007 Z06 with 46k miles. I politely told him to get f*cked. He is going to go out to his wholesalers and see what he can do. Deal is on hold right now. I could sell it privately, but I don't want the headache. Stay tuned.....
my '07 GT only had 27k miles on it when I traded it in last year, so sounds like you drive it a a lot 34k for your z06 sounds good to me
not like there is much/any real difference, anything below 50k is low miles.

I've seen my year Z06 online for low 40's. The minimum I will take from the dealer is 36k. Trading it in saves me $3,000 in sales tax, so selling it privately and getting 39K is the same as the trade. Plus I have to deal with all the bull****. No thanks.
Car just turned 5 years old and it has 46,000 miles on it. Not even 10k a year. It has an intake and a dyno tune as well as the ZR1 spoiler. It's in mint condition. I don't see the problem with getting $36k.
We will see.

Understanable reasons for getting rid of the vette but man they are beautiful! Lol
For exhaust I know you said you wanted a deep tone but I enjoy these choices.

Ordered it today. Dropping the Z06 off next week. Dealer let me take a GT for another test drive with my son. Did a nice combination of back road and highway driving. I am very surprised by one thing. I honestly thought that the difference between 420 hp and 505 hp would not be as HUGE as it was when driving the two vehicles. I do have an intake and a tune on the Z06, but I can say that there is no scenario where a 2013 Mustang could hang with a Z06. My Z would pummel the Mustang. Unless there is some sort of computer controlled restrictor on the Mustang I test drove, these two cars aren't even in the same zip code. And that is not a knock on the Mustang. It's over $30,000 less than a Z06. I was just expecting a little more.
Now the wait begins. It will a long 6-8 weeks.

Or the dog doo sound system. Or not being able to run through the gears without the fear of losing my license! Or knowing the next thing that breaks is on my own nickel. So there are some positives.It's good to see that I haven't been bumped off this list: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-z...fast-list.html I am hanging tight at #48
I will miss this for sure:
