Well, guys, I have been lurking on here for several months and posted a few times, and thought I had pretty much made up my mind to get a GT Premium with PP.
I have never been interested in either the Mustang or any GM car until just now with this new Mustang and the C7. I knew nothing about either car, so Corvettes in particular also seemed so overpriced, especially when I didn't know the significance of all the other letter and numbers.
Anyway, I currently drive a Prius. I bought this just as a commuter when my commute each way was 50 miles. That no longer applies, and I have been dying to get rid of it ever since.
I really want to get out of the Prius as soon as possible, but I started thinking about just waiting a bit longer, saving up a bit more money and getting a 2016 C7. I started researching more about that car and I now know that for the same 35-40K that it costs to get the GT Premium with PP, you can get a 2006-2008 C6 Z06.
The car will be my 'daily driver', but I put this in quotes because I work from home and don't have to drive somewhere on any given day. Probably around 6,000 miles per year I would say. So, the car would not be driven in the rain or on really cold days. I'll just not leave the house or take the wife's SUV in those situations.
If I did opt for a new C7 though, it would just be a base (non-Z51) 2LT package. Pretty straight forward.
Anyway, what do you guys think? I mean, I know this is a Mustang forum, but still curious to hear the logic. I will probably post this same thing on the corvette forum.
