Pulled the trigger

I’m not 100% sure I got the best deal but I’m happy. Traded one of my Six Pack Chargers for this 1LT. Dealer had it priced $59,500 and offered me $59,500 for my trade, just $1k less than I paid for it new. This C8 has zero add ons, no heated / ventilated seats, performance exhaust, nothing, 22k miles, 2 owners, one minor fender bender reported with no major damage. It’s super clean, 9.5/10. Ultimately I really wanted out of the charger and have wanted a C8 since I first laid eyes on them. Even the dealer I bought it from only offered $50k. So the price on this corvette may have been a bit inflated but I feel I may have still come out ahead based on my trade value since they gave almost $10k more than what two other dealers offered. I love this thing and imagine it’s a stepping stone to many more to come.

Why are 05s so low

If you were to choose which one and why. I know 05s have first year bugs but is this value or priced in. Surface level which would yall choose, obv this is before PPI.

05 is manual , has 57k miles but 5 owners, no crashes reported.

03 is manual, 65k miles multiple owners, no crashes reported.

05 is cash only as well I believe. May be wrong.

Any C8 owners with headers?

Just curious if any c8 owners here have done headers and how it sounds? Also wondering if it also voids any certain of power train warranty as well. On my c8, i’m currently running stock headers with 2m cat deletes + MBRP 3 inch straight pipe

Please hell me choose a car

C5 1997 auto vs Mustang 2013 auto coupe(V6)

Both owners claims around 80k miles and both around 12.5$k

A lot of people suggest me not to buy a corvette because my city has a terrible roads and bumps

I am big fan of corvettes specifically C6 but I don’t have the money for it and wants to buy a car rn.

I am quite hesitant on the mustang but I think it could looks better with racing stripes and small spoiler and black wheels, also I heard the c5 interiors are kind of garbage and I don’t like the fixed headlights style on c5.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Hurst shifter

Can’t believe how easy it was to install but anybody knows if the shift boot just sits there loose? All I had left that came with the shift knob are two rubber rings. Old shifter has notches for the shift boot to snug into, this one just has a groove that goes all the way around. Any ideas? Quick search and no luck yet.

C6: Is Magnetic Ride (MRC) a must-have for a comfortable daily?

I'm currently shopping for a manual C6 Grand Sport to replace my 6th Gen Camaro (V6 RS). My biggest gripe with the Camaro is the ride quality; it's tiring enough on my daily commute that discourages me from taking it on long road trips.

I've been researching Magnetic Ride Control (MRC) and the Jim Mero upgrade, but finding a manual GS with MRC on the market is proving to be a challenge. I recently test drove a GS without MRC, and to my surprise, it actually felt more compliant than my Camaro.

C6 Owners:

  1. MRC vs. Base: How much of a game changer is MRC for daily commuting? If I find a clean GS without it, will I regret not holding out for a Mag Ride car?
  2. Camaro Comparison: For anyone who has seat time in both an Alpha-chassis Camaro and a C6, did you also find C6 to be more comfortable?

I'm trying to decide if I should keep hunting for that unicorn manual GS with MRC car or just pull the trigger on a clean base-suspension GS. Thanks!
