Just tune etc, depends. I actually got a phone call saying the dealer can do an SSV with 8,000 k's for a close to similar price. So not sure what to do, VZ is a lovely car, VE is ugly...but hmm, probably stay witht he VZ

umm i would dump the vz in a second minux, the look of the ve really builds on you, i personally now like the rear end cause it does look nice and pictures really dont give it credit,

the ride and handling of the ve to the vz is incredible, if they offered you one with a close to similar price go for it trust me

yeah fair enough, but we generalize people revving the tits off them but most people do have respect for other people property and drive accordingly, my parents in particular, i personally wouldnt worry too much bout it you still have 5 years of warranty

LMAO i dont think anyone has a chance of convincing minx to by a VE LMAO. I would go with the SSV personally. Good luck and post pics when you get it. Are you keeping the vt? or was it a vx??
