STOCK X-PIPE CAT DELETE
What axle backs did you put on? I've heard folks say that unlike other cars, there is not a significant change in sound from the stock axle backs so curious to hear your experience. -
Question Removing a C7 Battery
Thanks for being so generous with your time to share it with forum, will keep for future reference. -
2023 Z FS in Pickering
I don't disagree. But.....adding up the cost of the Porsche's you need to buy in the hope you are 'gifted' an allocation without ADM gets really expensive. -
2024 Z06 US & Canadian Prices
Agree. Article below is from 2021 and GM was already seeing shifting demographics. Z06, ERay, and ZR1 will only make it 'worse'. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/01/chevy-corvette-c8-is-selling-to-wealthier-customers-than-c7/ The demographic is rapidly moving towards a younger and wealthier... -
2024 Z06 US & Canadian Prices
I don't disagree with you but they do because they can. Porsche game is the same if not worse--huge increases, years long wait lists and allocation games overseas. This is not going away. -
Z06 OFFICIAL LIST of who is on the list? who is staying? who is dropping?
The increase on 911's is eye watering, so not at all surprised by this. The Z06 is still a 'bargain' based on what you are getting. Having said that, it's getting silly this car game--someone has to blink. Price elasticity is a real thing at some point for just about every product on the globe. -
GM - Jake Performance Cold Air Intake system # 84689752
Beautiful car! Did the car throw a code? Is it tuned? -
GM - Jake Performance Cold Air Intake system # 84689752
This CAI has been around for a while now--curious on revisiting any feedback from the forum from those that have it installed? I've read power increase is minor which is to be expected on a stock non-tune box and not something I care about anyways. Any impact on sound, throttle response or... -
What vehicle in the same price range would you buy instead of the 2023 C8 Z06?
So on a very positive note, seeing more C8's on the road in dry winter weather than I ever did C7's and with good reason! Still taking a 911 Carrera/GTS 4 all day long over a C8 in winter though ;) -
What vehicle in the same price range would you buy instead of the 2023 C8 Z06?
911 GTS4 I'm loving the C8 Z06.... but it's starting to nip into the 2's which will make it a very expensive 6 month garage store in winter. The 911 is a year rounder with the right tires and moderate snowfall, performance is not too far off the C8, build quality is rock solid, and values... -
Z06 OFFICIAL LIST of who is on the list? who is staying? who is dropping?
I wasn't a big fan of the C7 Stingray either--I prefer the wide body of the Z06/GS in that generation as well. It's the same for the C8 Stingray, where the Z06 is 3 inches wider than the Stingray, larger tires, wider rear end vents and aero, center exhaust, larger front splitter... I find the... -
Z06 OFFICIAL LIST of who is on the list? who is staying? who is dropping?
Good points all around here. I like the C8, and I'm on the long end of wait list for a Z06 so in no way a C8 hater. I passed on a Stingray allocation months ago because I'm not a fan of the looks, but the C8 fixes most of that and the engine and performance are on another level of course. I... -
Z06 production numbers
Thanks for sharing. I've not been following too closely, but I am aware of the constraints and long wait list for the Z06. Curious for viewpoints on the probability that those who joined a wait list in 2022 will ever see a C8 Z06? Last time I was in a dealership getting the Vette serviced was... -
Start Z06 with baffles closed
Try holding the start button for about 5-7 seconds (without foot on brake :)), this should allow you to bring up the sound management options and from there you can select stealth. Now foot on brake and start car. I have a Mild To Wild switch which auto defaults to Track on startup, so when I... -
Perception of Corvette vs Mustang
Love Stangs, had two of them of which one was a Boss302 which I regret selling. But......Vette is in a completely different league in virtually all areas. A few years back I got the windows tinted on the Vette and there was a brand new Mustang GT parked in front of my car inside the garage...
