It was a joke... It wasn't like I was giving an actual political opinion. The word Trump was an unintended pun. Lol.

Anyway... Back to the corvette. The ZR1 ECM was cracked. 1000hp easily... Here we come.

How many things they're going to break to get to 1000hp?

Wouldn't be the first joke I didn't get. Probably won't be the last.

Probably so...there is a reason why GM
would not place the Chevy badge on any Corvette.
Just like any car manufacturers like our own Nissan they make crappy Sentras, Versa, Maxima and Vans.
H

But for some reason they do it right or better with the GTR and Z cars.
Just like to Ferrari they have half boiled lemons as the likes of Alfa and Massaratti.

With the exception of the 4C off course.

Just smoked what you wantef to
smoke ...lol

Magic Mushrooms!

Exactly. The C7 corvette build quality eclipses all other generations. No creeking and rattling in my camaro yet? Power is amazing...

And as for corvette? They are built in their own factory by corvette specialists in bowling green Kentucky!!! Not in a factory with Malibu's and Cruze's

My buddy's C7 Vette built quality is chit. Paint thin enough to see the primer. Seats that the sticthing is coming loose. And the motor that had to be replaced because of metal chips in the oil passages. Plus the radio that works part of the time.

GM recommends for Corvette C7 to do an oil change for the first 500 or 1K miles and change oil differentils at 20K or 30K miles. A/T flush at 50K miles.
To keep those metal shavings flushed.

the vett is 5 years old and so far it still scares me with TC off.

UNKNOWN_370 · 04-15-2019, 08:00 AM

There's an overflow of c7 corvettes. When GM goes crazy and starts putting $16k+ deductions on vettes? I may pick up a grand sport and trade my Camaro?

eZg · 04-15-2019, 09:37 AM

Not a Vette dude....but if the car looks anything like the camo vs and is not much over $70K with 500 hp and true DCT......I'm all in.

Might have to shave emblems and do some custom bodywork (only partially kidding).....to help me forget I'm driving a Vette.......

dammit........might have to get one of these after they've been out a couple years.

1. dont want an early failed tranny like the 2014 C7 had to be revised instantly for 2015.

2. let someone else take that first price hit. i'll grab it after that first 10k depreciation hits as it leaves the lot.

This. I pretty much have always refused to buy a vehicle which has a powertrain less than 3 calendar years old, and then I hit the forums and see how they do or if they have common issues. The only time I put that standsrd on hold, I regretted it, but I did love the vehicle.
