SC or TC
#27
To me the bottom line is money. I am amazed at how many ppl here are considering getting rid of (for example) an '07 SS/SC to buy an '08; that can easliy end up a financial disaster. Most people didn't have a huge downpayment or trade so they are way into negative equity on the SS/SC and will end up throwing away a ton of money to get the newer car.
The first thing I'd do is get to a dealership and run the numbers. For most of us, the loan for the new car + pay off (neg equity) on the SS/SC would be outrageous.
And if you're looking for power numbers which I assume you are as a member of the forums, consider this: 2006-7 SS/SC with the new TVS supercharger ($2000 if I remember correctly) plus a few cheap supporting mods has already proven way over 300whp. Compared to the money you will lose on a trade and the most likely higher payments on a 230-240ish whp TC, you're already in the red with yes, a new car, however one that you will have no money for a long time to increase its performance.

Exactly why I leased mine... ... I didn't do a thing to it... I get to give it back in 10 months, try and get myself a Solstice Coupe GXP, and if that falls through well then I guess my last resort will be to get the SS/TC...
