I had a well sorted mkiv Supra 6 speed about 20 years ago. I sold it because who needs a 2 door Toyota with bad gas mileage and no trunk when they have kids on the way, right?

Good to see a lot of previous Corvette owners. I guess making the switch from a Corvette to a 991TT is more common than I thought.

There were a few I "kinda" wish I still had but this one stands out and definitely hurts the most , I let it go back in 2017...

2011 Supersonic Blue C6ZR1, Bought from original owner w/low miles

I still love Corvettes, but there is little comparison to my TT. And I still love the old MOPARs also that I grew up with.

Agreed, different ends of the spectrum in terms of the way they drive and power delivery. The 991 TTS is far more superior IMO

Since this 'Sellers Remorse' thread has morphed into a "I used to own a Corvette" thread, and while I regret almost every Porsche I have sold in the past, I have zero regrets on selling the C8 Z51 HTC I had a while back. Not one bit of regret.

OK, I will admit it was kind of great looking from certain angles! And I like the color a whole lot better then the new Shark Blue Porsche if offering on their GT cars.

But I still have 0 remorse over selling it!

I wonder if they did the back treatment/wheel selection on the basis that GM figured folks would buy different wheels.

Wheels may help it.

How'bout we still own a Corvette? Every time I get close to getting her to sell it she goes all misty-eyed on me. My wife in her '02Z at Mosport:

I regret selling my '64 triple black 356. I regret selling my '97 993. I regret selling my '17 991S.
And just to make sure that Corvettes don't get all the non-Porsche tears, I am pretty sure that I am going to regret selling my pair of TR6s this morning.
