    New Z06 C7

    The Z07 package is only good if you track the car. Some peole will find that out when they experience rapid tire wear driving on the street. You really made the best choice.

    2016 Warranty Update

    That is excellent news for those of us getting 2016 cars. However I don't know how long GM Canada can hold the line on this if the parent company wants to increase profitability at Canadian operations. It is a cost savings in the US so if they squeeze GM Canada hard enough it could be reduced...

    I don't know if he sold it or not but I saw a car just like it cruising down Tecumseh road yesterday.

    New Z06s to Canada?

    Agree you have to pay to play. I would not doubt that there is someone in Canada with deep pockets that wants it now and will pay.

    Strangest thing

    I think Mannys advice comes from the fact that some people have those older chargers that supply constant current and don't have and current limiting capabilities. Think of those big chargers on wheels that many shops have today for supplying a fast charge. In that case you do stand the risk...

    New Z06s to Canada?

    I have heard that some dealers are using volume brokers in the US to import used Corvettes into Canada. If you wait a bit you should be able to import a C7 Z06 into Canada but the exchange rate may be a consideration. Like anything it depends how badly you want it.

    New Z06s to Canada?

    I heard a Tilbury dealer has one in his showroom. Don't know if it is sold or not.

    Build your own Z06 Engine option now available

    Friend of mine did the engine build program a few years ago. Says it was the best experience and worth the money. You even get an engine plate with your name on it to put on your engine plus you get to have some quality time with the engine builder who guides you through the build. Yes it...

    2015 Z06 loses power on track

    I was there also checking out the new products. The DSOM looks terrific. If you are ordering a C7 in this color you will not be disappointed.

    2015 Z06 loses power on track

    You and others continue to gloss over the fact that the car does not perform like it has been marketed. It is not the "most capable track Corvette ever" as they like to say. It can't make it around the track more than a few laps without losing steam. The previous generation Z06 outruns it at...

    2015 Z06 loses power on track

    The 2015 Z06 may not be the car to have. I have heard rumours that significant changes are underway for the 2017 model to put the performance back where it should be. People are starting to cancel orders in the US due to some negative feedback. GM better wake up fast.

    signed a deal..

    Nothing wrong with your method but putting the car in neutral and pushing it forward a foot every week solves the problem just as well.

    signed a deal..

    Laguna Blue is a great color. Don't forget to put a battery tender on the car over the winter and move your car in the garage so you don't flat spot the tires. It will drive you crazy waiting for spring by the way.

    Weight reduction C7

    I guess you have to ride without a passenger.

    2015 Z06 loses power on track

    Sure it can I never said it could not. I don't know what you are implying. There is enough electronics in a C7 to monitor what revs and gear you are in when you miss a shift and blow your engine. That did not exist previously. You are alluding to something different. It has been widely...
