Awesome price. I bought a 2017 because I wanted a 2017. I was way too emotional about the purchase. Chevy raised the prices $605 on the 2017s then dropped the price $1,000 after I bought mine. I should have waited and just bought a 2016.

I went to the track on Friday and ran 12.41 at 112.35 when the temp was 84 and the humidity was 75-80%. The 60 foot was 1.93. I just hit the gas. Not too bad considering the weather. Lots of cars are trapping 116-117 in really good weather which is incredible to me.

I'm sure someone will click off an 11 with good air and traction

if you got that advertised price thats a sick *** deal. usually with large discounts you have to qualify.


before i bought my 1le another dealer was discounting a zl1 12k off sticker but i doubt i qulaified for them all so i dont feel too bad lol.

No qual required. I also got 2.24% APR from USAA.....800 credit FTW

GM is running 16% off certain models that have been in stock the longest and this car was tagged. Dealer also had their discount. Only thing I had to haggle was my trade in value. Easiest car I ever bought.

I never said I paid sticker but those deals were only available because they had so many leftovers and they needed to get get rid of them. That was not close to a normal discount. Same with yours. If there were buyers willing to pay they never would have done that.

I guess great ride is relevant to what you are comparing it to. It rides great compared to any 4th Gen I've ever owned. It's a sports cars, so don't expect it to ride like an SUV My CTSV had the MRC and it rode pretty stiff too.

I did the same thing! $34k I'm flying to Dallas tonight to pick it up and drive it home tomorrow morning. I think I got the last 6 speed in the country with that discount.

Congrats! 6th gear? Keep hearing dyno operaters not wanting to spin their dynos that high so they are using 5th. Any truth to that? Are you planning to mod it? Thanks
