goodbye rx8, hello C6
Well, it's been a fun year, and thanks to all who have answered questions and shared their insights. the lure of 400 hp was too much for this guy, and when I saw a used (yes used) 2005 corvette for under 50k, I just couldn't help myself from trading in the rx-8 (paid for, so got a good chunk of equity) and driving it home. This car has so many refinements it's amazing, and did I mention the 400 hp in a car that weighs about the same as the 8? :D I do miss the 8 for all the reasons I bought it, but I think I'll learn to get over it!
Anybody want any specfifics on the vette, or pics? It too is silver, with pretty much every option available. The prior owner even took museum delivery on the car, then sold it with 3700 miles on it!
I'll still be here sniffing around, but I have another forum to check on now!

The only thing I miss about my 8 was the steering wheel audio controls, and the 6 disk. (the nav system did not come with a 6 disk as on option. had to have one or the other) personally I'd like the 6 disk, but the nav system is really cool, too!
I'll get some pics soon. it may still be on the dealer website:

The vette is a great looking car. Congrats on the purchase. Did you have to sell your kids? Ha ha. I on occasion see a yellow Corvette in a parking lot near my work and have had a peek inside ... looks great! But don't you miss our digital speedo?
