[QUOTE="flyboy999, post: 141632, member: 2330"] The ZR1 sounds a lot like my Viper in the sense that dealerships have absolutely no clue....... It's a situation where an American car company makes something really special, but has absolutely no dealer support for the vehicle. Brutal. It's one of the reasons I keep my Viper in Lions Bay, and my Vette in Saskatchewan. Try and find a shop who has competent technicians to work on the Viper outside of Toronto or Vancouver...........good luck. Even then, I think it's a bit sketch. Sherwood GM in Saskatoon seems to know what they are doing with my Vette, so I'm happy with that. The next car I buy has to have adequate dealer support, or I'm not even going to consider it. This obviously isn't an issue with Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, etc. You take your car into one of those shops and you can bet they know what they're doing. But, you're going to pay an arm and a leg for that "specialized knowledge." Wouldn't it be nice if the C8 Corvette makes the jump to the more "exotic side" and the dealerships that sell the car have staff that can actually carry on a meaningful conversation about the car as well as service it? It's almost as if, when you are considering the purchase of the C8 you have to ask the salesman, "So, how many techs do you have employed at this dealership who are actually qualified to work on this car?" None have completed the required training? No thanx............. Or how about the Ford GT? How many Ford dealerships in Canada can actually touch that car?
