Buying contemplations

[KiLLeR2001]

Get some 93 octane in that beast and don't forget to turn on sport mode on the exhaust.

I'd imagine the GT350 is going to hold it's value over a 1LE or SS no matter how you look at it... There's just so many of them around and that's one reason for the price cuts. They just sit around and they have no choice but to slash the prices to move them. Unless a dealer is asking to high of an ADM or it's in some bodonk town a GT350 isn't going to sit around collecting dust :ford: That being said though I guess it's not the car for everybody. Myself having a '17 Corvette Grand Sport 3LE and '17 Shelby GT350 I enjoy driving the GT350 anyday over the GS If you don't like the exhaust note of the GT350 over ANY Chevy you might want to go by the Dr and make sure you don't have a buildup of wax in those ears of yours :cheers:

The less depreciation is important to me I understand the high Reving engine and thunder exhaust I totally know why it's special just wanted opinions

Automobiles can be but usually are not a investment, buy the 1le :ford::ford::ford::ford:

Both are great American Muscle cars. The Shelby is by far the better total package and just plain sexier and more than a little exotic. I haven't driven the Chevy, but from what I have read, in spite of significant improvements to the interior it's still kind of a low rent cave.

I can't imagine you wouldn't be happy with either one. I daily drive my Shelby and everyday I feel like I'm dreaming. Go with what makes you happy.

Your focus appears to be on least value lost, depreciation, and the car secondary.

With that in mind, the last thing you should look at is a new car, even if discounted,
buy a used Boss, Camaro, whatever, than you can worry less about cost per mile,
and focus on smile per mile.

Not a huge fan of the boss I drove it , well I really like the corvette and you can get big discounts on them .... the Shelby fits w taking the kid and wife I'm starting to lean away from the camaro because I see them everywhere I'm really noticing them -- I do love the targa tops in the vette tho have to admit that

Used conservation s are a zl1, I think it overheats on track tho
I will have this figured out as soon as I move in a week !

It's an awesome cart don't get me wrong but I personally enjoy the GT350 more. Plus me and the wife took it to toys r us and we're able to get everything we bought in the trunk. Might not matter any to you but I like being able to take the car for a drive and if I decide to stop by a store I van bring home more than a couple movies :lol: The GS Coupe has no trunk space barely at all. For me the GT350 is more pleasurable all around than the vette any day of the week. Yes the vette has active exhaust as well but it's not that special to me. The only thing the vette has there is it will stay in sport mode but I'm sure it won't be long before someone figures out how to do it in the GT350 :cheers:

Maybe I didn't get enough time with the Shelby , I kept comparing it to my c7 z51 I felt like
It had more adrenaline off the bat , maybe I didn't punch the Shelby more .... at least admit you like the apple car play a bit better ? I really do like the interior of the vette more but the exterior of the Shelby .

How about on the track which do you prefer ? The brakes and shifter seem better on the GS ? I'm finding amazing deals
On the GS about equal price
To the Shelby
