I didn’t buy it, but out of curiosity what happened ?

Someone PMd me and said he thought he purchased my 2017 R. I could not reply to the message so I thought I would post the question on here hoping that he would see it and get in touch with me.

I traded it for a new 2017 C7 Z-51 Corvette. Now I miss the R......had both APR ECU & Transmission tunes also.

Interesting that you miss the R.. does it feel faster or more fun that the new Corvette?

The R always had surprises in store for those who wished to out run it. I debaged it and it looked like any old Golf.

It couldn't take corners like the Z-51 Corvette though.

I've finally touched base with it's new owner and will be giving him the window sticker and grille badge.

My vette only gets 21 mpg overall while the R got 26.

Interesting. I wonder if both cars have same tires, awd has advantage over the rwd?? vett is heavier and both cars would understeer at the beginning.
Also, vett cannot take corners like R when its not sunny outside or not so perfect road conditions.
I'm just curious.
