A Chevy dealer didn't like me...
 

So I was in this Chevy dealership and they had a Corvette there and it was $68,995. And I asked the salesman what is the horsepower and he brags. "it's 400 hp" and I said, why would someone pay 68K for a vette when they can get an SS with 426hp for like 40K. He then retorts its a vette, and I said for that kind of money I could get a ZL1 for 54K and it is over 600 hp. He then shut up and I could tell he didn't know his specs and was not happy with me and walked away. Just had to share this with you all.

:bellyroll:

Priceless

Or maybe he got all surprised to find out that the ZL1 has over 600 HP :*

That's great, kinda like the salesman that had to ask another salesman which Camaro had the V8. Yes, this was a Certified Chevrolet Dealership. :rolleyes:

Also the same person giving me wholesale price for my old car, without even looking at it. If the website said $50,000, he probably would have gave me that without missing a beat. Needless to say I went to another dealership to get my Camaro.

Some people.

haha awesome story. Kinda like when I went to a dodge dealership a while back to check out the new green challengers, and asked the dealer about the hash marks, "blah blah blah Dodge has been doing that since the 70's cand now their new brand identity is based off of it" I told him that the hash marks (grand sport stripes) started in corvette racing and he shut up real quick.

Well, to be fair, the Corvette name is a bit more heralded, and beyond that, even the ages-old C6 still delivers near-supercar performance. I'm pretty sure some of the models can still run circles around the Camaro in terms of handling, and I suspect that the C7 will set that in stone.

If you've driven a newer Corvette, the feel is entirely different from the Camaro. I had a C6 from Hertz for almost a week and enjoyed every second of it.

:word:


He wasn't the only one unfamiliar with their numbers. ZL1 is 580, if it were over 600 the debate with the GT500 would be over.

Since I don't own a ZL1 I was guesstimating it. My bad.

i thought the new corvettes were 430 hp not 400:iono:

Plus a corvette weights less than a camaro. if i could afford it i would het one.

When I was checking out a 45th anniversary model at a local dealer the salesman told me that they were a limited run and some dealerships wouldn't be able to get one. Matter of fact, he said, the one I was looking at could very well be the only one they'd get.
He then tried to pump the price because it was so special.

:facepalm:

They are rated at 430 HP.

A salesman like this guy... should stick to selling Chevy Spark. He should leave the Vetts to to a more knowledgeable sales person. LoL :facepalm:

What amazes me about salesmen is that they don't know the specs on their product line when the amount of info is less than what a waitress in a decent restaurant has to know about the menu. I have known salesmen who could tell you the specs on any carline they had sold in the last 20 years, and salesmen who don't know the time 2 seconds after they checked their watch.
