Me too ...bored...honestly its not fast enough. I can pay 5k and get a 2008 to 2011 Vette with low miles and its night and day difference with no lag...Plus the G looks really good but honestly it is not a show stopper like a Vette. Everywhere I stopped when I owned a Vette someone commented now I have never once had anyone tell me how awesome my car looked and it is, lowered, Tanabe exhaust, spoiler, splitter etc.

Hard to sell the G, because this car is really good in everything including reliability and its paid off. However, its not really great in anything...not in a hurry to sell it..

Yeah but if you buy the Vette, can you afford the cheesy inappropriately oversized gold necklace and sport the chest hair popping out the polo look?

Lol....When I used to own one that was my first impression until I realized how many younger guys actually own them and wanted them. I think people use that association because yes the mid life crisis guys are around. I would rather have an older guy who loves cars driving my kinda car then the tons of soccer moms that drive the G. Plus I think people who cant afford a Vette are just jealous so they try to associate one of the greatest sports cars in the US ever made with something negative to hide the fact they cant afford it.

I was shocked seeing how much they have dropped in value, thought about grabbing one but just cant get over how cheap the interior looks and feels :/

Actually they retain their value much better than a G. I purchased a 2008 used in 2008 for approximately 34k with only 4k miles on it. Presently if you can get one with low miles (25k or less) it will cost you around 30 to 32k. 3k 5k drop max over 8 years? Take a 2008 G37 and say the same thing...

Interior is just a media produced lie. I have owned a M3 and a Vette and seriously the interior is not that much better. The G37 has just as much plastic although the seats in the G37 are superior to the Vette. So you give up seats...but with the Vette you get show stopper looks, no lag, 12.4 second stock car versus 13.8. Depends on what your looking for I guess...from a performance car stand point the Vette kills the G...from a comfort and tech the G....

ohhhhh I think there's some miscommunication, you said you could get a Vette for 5k so I assumed you meant a c4 or really busted c5 lol.. The c6 or better are sexy AF but super different models to be comparing to a G.

Vettes are cool but unless its cammed and slammed they'll never stop traffic like a Lambo or Ferrari would. I have no doubt the older guys that owned 57 Chevys new would love to brown nose the owner about it but anyone else, meh... Maybe I'm just jaded since Vettes and Mustangs are super common here and hardly warrant a second look unless they're boosted with a chute driving down Main st

I'm just saying from experience....I have owned a 2011 E92 M3, a 2012 GS Corvette and now the G37S Coupe and relative to the G and BMW the Vette gets all the attention. The other two get no comments....just sayin..
