I am the original owner, I was hooked when the concept came out, but 50k was TOO much, 4 years go by and I am in Detroit Mi for the first time in 10 yrs at Xmas time, as we are leaving early for the airport we go by Les Stanford Chevrolet (" The Corvette King in Michigan or so they say") in Dearborn on a snowy day and they have 34 SSRs on the lot, turns out they make dealer trades with smaller dealers around the country for the Corvette and HAD to take the SSRs as well ( too expensive to sell in the small towns).
I briefly spoke a deal and was amazed at the discount compared to Las Vegas, where there were always plenty to pick from ( at MSRP)
I tried making a few bids on EBAY, but with dial up at the time, I was always outbid for the good ones, Wife says, for those prices call Detroit, well I emailed them in the dead of night and got a reply promptly the next morning of my choice from their fleet.
I chose a loaded Black one and had it shipped out.
Almost 4 years later the Black Eagle has 8500 miles and is a dream to own.
I will never sell it, it is a rare animal and the pride of ownership of such a magnificent vehicle is very exhilarating.
Back in Black 400 HP , what else could you want?
"No regrets", oh by the way Detroit IS the place to get deals IMHO, I was going to get a Camaro SS, BUT I will wait for the New Corvette Stingray C7 and most likely get it from Stanford as well , uh 2 years after they come down to earth.
Black of course 420 HP
