Default It's gone

I decided to trade the 05 S2000 for an 05 Corvette that I was interested in. It has the 400 hp motor with 6 speed manual.

The red 05 S2000 had 4,400 miles on it. It is at Green Chevrolet in East Moline, Illinois. They said that they would put it on the internet as this area is a very small market for that car.

They discounted the Vette 3K and gave me 18,588 .

If anyone is interested they should check it out. It never was in the rain. I only took it over 6000 rpm's on my way to the dealer today. Nice little extra kick there.

Wow, I wonder how much they'll sell your S for. How much did you get the vette for BTW?

Didn't you just post up a thread about winder storage of your S? lol
Also, by past 6k rpm I hope you were talking about the vette...b/c if you never took the S past 6k then you're missing out.

That's the same as trading a hot skinny redhead for a retard built like a linebacker.

The C6 'Vettes are monsterous; however, I do think that trading an S2000 that was only taken past 6K rpm once is a waste of ownership.


BTW, I'd never trade my S for any car in the world. I'm not a fanboi or anything of that nature, but it's my first official car and I plan on keeping it forever.

Holy crap dude, how do you post an average of 35 ppd???????


Oh and back on topic, it is clear that the S did not meet your needs if you wanted the change. We hate to lose other S owners, but I hope you are happy with the Vett. Congrats.

I would agree, but it sounds like he never really drove the S. C6 Corvettes though 430hp and they get about the same mileage as an S.

I saw someone on here with over 70ppd that was on the boards for 3-4 years.

Saying stuff like this will make people think you are the retarded linebacker.

Gotta say- why did they even bother buying an S2K if they never took the car into Vtec? He/She seems to be a performance car person, but whats the use if the car is never driven to its potential? At least the Vette has its power down low, maybe they will get some enjoyment out if it. The 05 will make a great buy for someone though who will hopefully use it.

Saying stuff like that will make people pity you for having no sense of humor.
