Just got another email from the Manager of the dealership that bought my L. He had sent me an email about the post where the L kicks the crap out of the SRT - 10 truck. It was a dark shadow gray like mine. I told him that the L in the video was only running on his 390 HP setting and my L is 420 HP so it should be faster still. I asked him if he had raced his friends new C6 yet, and this was the response I got.

I didn't see anything but the 1/4 mile run. The L was 1/2 the track length
ahead! I will kick my friends a$$ in the Vette, but the roads have to be
dry first! As you say, the L breaks loose easily. I'll let you know when I
have the vette for lunch.

I was LMAO when I read this. Hard to believe a sales manager for a dealership would get this excited about a truck he purchased for his dealership. He said he really doesn't want to sell it now.

 

hey mart man,

i really wish i knew you were selling your lightning
cuz i would have seriously given you more than
that dealership gave you. everytime, i see a
picture of your truck, it bums me out man.

next time, dont go sneaking off and selling anything
without telling "the brotherhood" first.

o well....i'll just let out another forlorn sigh.....

 

Thanks for the compliment. The only reason I didn't post here was because there are so many saying the $25K is too much for a used L and telling them to buy new '04's for $26K. So, rather than arguing west coast vs east coast pricing, I just put it on Auto Trader. Took me about 2 weeks to sell.

 

The last new ones and the newest used ones in my area have gone up in price over the last few months. A few months back, the posts boasted $26K-$28K and now the latest Florida post moans "They aren't coming off the price."
