A temporary goodbye

Guys,
My EVO-X was alot of fun, but I ended up selling it to get the last of the Z06s. You see 2010 will be the last year GM is making this car. So I just had to grab one. With that being said, the Viper an Vette go hand in hand.

I will defitnetly be back soon with another EVO. Perhaps an EVO- XI, MR model foresure. So in the meantime I wanted to say adios, and hope you guys have a happy new years..

W.

Let's hope that there will be a EVO XI...

Mitsu is not in a good period and is seriously thinking of selling a big part of Mitsubishi Motors (40-50%) to PSA group (Peugeot, Citroen, etc): if this will happen, I think it could be the end for the EVO

In any case, congratulations for your new car

Congrats on the new ride and best of luck. Always enjoyed your photos of the X tearing up Laguna Seca.

Mildly envious, I'd love to have a used Viper to park next to my C6. Pretty happy with my base model- and I think they will make the Z06 until the C7 debuts (if they don't close the factory first). First time in decades they couldn't sell 10,000 vettes in a year though. The extra 2008's at fire sale pricing kind put the hurt on the market though (just like the evo).

were you able to sell the evo private party?

congratulations!!!!!!!
I thought to do exactly the same a month ago with the new 0% finance in all the corvettes including the z06, but still a 70k brand new z06 is around a 1000 a month maybe 900 after rebates . it's a hard monthly payment for a car. I keep the evo.

lol

Nobody knows, but vette production is wayyy down and they have a separate facility hand-building the LS7 z06 motor so it costs GM a lot to keep the model alive.
