Honestly, I decided on a new GT over a used C6 solely because of the warranty. I'm going to give this car a year for any powertrain issues to surface before I get it tuned. In the meantime I'm settling for an intake and an exhaust. Assuming there is no way for the ECU to know they have been...
I was under the impression you had to install the bra before the coating, because of possible issues with the adhesive not sticking to the coating. Have you had any issues with the bra since installing it?
Also, $1300 just for the coating or was that also for the paint correction?
So you're speaking to all adults/logical thinkers then? I don't get your logic. If a $40,000 GT is Kate Upton then what is an $80,000 Corvette? Or a $140,000 911? A Kate Upton, Kate Beckinsale (and Kate Bosworth for the 911)?
I bought my $33k GT because it was the best bang for buck new...
Anthony, what kind of power do you put down with that gt47-88? Also which a/r 1.08, 1.23? Any lag at all? I really want to go with a turbocharger, but I'd rather a single over twins. My past turbo experience was with turbo-4s and 6s with much less displacement though. Not sure if a single will...
Aren't the three standoffs that need to be grounded down threaded attachment points for something? How are you reattaching (reverting back to stock) without those now missing threaded standoffs?
My first tank in my GT/AT/3.55 was 90% highway driving (driving it home) and I averaged 23.4 MPG.
My last two fill ups have been 18.4 and 18.2 MPG. Honestly though I'm not disappointed. The traffic around here is terrible, so it's a LOT of stop and go mixed in with very spirited driving...
I highly doubt bugs would be much of an issue even during the lovebug season down here. Personally, I don't see the appeal of the grill delete. Just gives the car an unfinished look like the kids driving around with unpainted body kits.
Tomorrow I'll be getting 3M Color Stable 20% on sides and rear. Xtreme Tint in Cape Coral Florida @$245. Not sure if it's a good price or not, but they have good reviews. Just hope it's pure black and not some color tint.
Isn't that obvious? Because I wanted to buy down the payment.
I know if the car is totaled, I'm out 1500-(payments made*50), but that would be the least of my worries. I know I could have put that money in an interest-bearing account, but the $50 that would've netted me over 3 years wouldn't...
So I FINALLY got my deal. It's not as good as the original, but it's pretty damn good IMO.

Yeah. Now I'm looking for my Plan C car choice. I may go with an Ecoboost... but the performance numbers weren't very impressive when I first looked. How are you liking yours so far? I'm assuming the aftermarket will open this little motor up quite a bit. TIME TO RESEARCH!
