Thanks!!!

Congrats! Beautiful cars...normally don't care for black wheels, but those look great! May I ask what the ballpark out the door price was on these cars? Still no live configurator for me to play with...

A Petro-Canada engineer told me that if your put winter grade gas in you don’t need fuel stabilizer unless storing more than 6 months. I’ve never used it and never had a problem.

I spent $6250 plus tax for full body PPF on my new 911 this summer at what was supposed to be the best shop in the GTA - The Refinery. It is a total butcher job (dirt, bubbles, adhesive lines) and a complete waste of money. This was my first and last PPF job!

My wife and I went for a 45 minute drive around lakeshore Rd in Oakville yesterday and we saw 6 C8’s! There are a ton on the roads around here.

Enjoy!

When I saw your post about working for Audi I, I was going to ask you about paint issues on new cars. I was really shocked with the blemishes on my new 911 and at seeing the Z06 issues in this thread. I guess I thought that buying a more expensive car would mean you wouldn’t have to deal with...

I suspect that some of that differential is because you are comparing a limited production Audi that is 12 years old to a more mass produced Corvette that is current. The 2 to 3 times MSRP of the Audi plays a role too. Still, those are pretty shocking numbers on the Audi.

Good point, however I am sure that the extended production year and MSRP of the C7 ZR1 helped justify that car. I'm not sure that a GS would do the same...but we'll see! I would guess that if they are indeed producing a GS, it will come out for at least a couple of years - especially if...

I ended up having the entire car polished because of the poor quality. Being black…everything shows. I ended up ppfing the whole car to help prevent future marks. I won’t take another car off of any dealer’s lot in the future without going over it with a bright light. My spots didn’t show...

Not a Corvette, but I had similar spots on my 2024 911. 8 or 9 tiny bubbles in the clearcoat. I’m not impressed that the car left the factory like it did.

That's $11k with the lux tax.

First run was for 4 years, second for 3. Even with all the parts available with tweaks to software, wiring harnesses and emblems etc., I just don't see a 1 year model happening. They wouldn't cover the marketing costs with one year.

I don't think the payback is there for a 1 year only GS. I can't think if any other 1 year only car that was anything more than stickers and paint.

I’d likely jump at a Grand Sport too. I just prefer that body style over the Stingray and I don’t need the Z06 power. I picked up my new base Carrera in July. Owning a brand new 911 was a bucket list item for me, so I figured that I’d better get one before I was totally priced out of that market!
