My Corvette(s):
2008 JSB Coupe
Default Bought a JSB 2008

Well I finally did it! Yesterday I drove a new JSB 1LT A6. I loved the paddle shifting. The power is really noticably better than my 2002 vert and it handles better.

I really spent some time on the lot today comparing JSB, Black and Mag Red and I just kept coming back to the JSB.

The car is now marked sold. I should have it in a day or so. I am having the NPP exhaus installed but that will probably come next week.

I hate to see my beatiful '02 going but this is a nice step up. This one will be my DD only for a short time and I will get another car for my commute. My new JSB wil become a weekend fun car.

Congrats - Im actually in the market myself. After owning a Lemans blue I traded in for a Porsche C4, but Im coming back to a C6.

Im torn between JSB and Atomic Orange and also between manual or auto

I've seen a JSB with 2 tone seats (blk/gry) and boy is that a hot looking car!!

I went back to the dealership yesterday at noon and parked in front of my JSB. It was sitting beside a black coupe and an atomic orange Z06. Next to that was a yelocity(?) yellow coupe followed by a mag. red and victory red coupe.

So I spent about 30 minutes really comparing the colors. A while back I saw a link showing a JSB in and out of the garage. It seemed to change colors. I was intrigued. The more I researched JSB the more I liked it.

By the time I left I knew for certain that I wanted the JSB. I was already sold on the A6 w/paddle shifters.

My coupe is a basic 1LT model with ebony interior and I am adding NPP on Monday. I sort of miss my HUD but only from a cool factor angle.

I really like this car. My son asked if I had noticed that almost every car that went by stared at my car. My '02 vert got a lot of looks but this color must be unusual enough that it really does get a lot of attention.

I can't wait to get to 500 miles so that I can really drive it.
