One thing I’m impressed with on my 24’Z06 is the cooling. Driving home on I-75 in Florida can get the temp up to 208 in traffic but as soon as it opens up, it drops 40 degrees to a cool 168 in like 2 minutes! GM learned from the C7 and those 5 radiators really keep the car cool in Florida driving!🇺🇸

I have the GT3, and the Z06…I like them both…they are different The Z06 would be my choice for the longer drive…more comfy (actually)…and it’s a convertible…. The Z06 is BIGGER..and you feel it. It feels kinda like a boat. It does sound better….a great care. AND…you can get one My 992 GT3….Porsche did it so well…..it’s such a refined car. It instills confidence when you drive. Feels more nimble, comes in manual (which I have). Doesn’t sound better at start up….but when screaming at 9,000 RPM….the mechanical sign is intoxicating. Plus….good like trying to get one….its hard I love them both….but the GT3 is a better car

Yes, door panel rattles are a known issue for the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06, as well as other C8 models. These rattles can be quite annoying and may arise from several sources. Here are some common causes and potential solutions:Common Causes of Door Panel Rattles:Loose Components: Over time, screws and fasteners securing the door panels and internal components can become loose, leading to rattles.Speaker Vibration: The powerful speakers in the C8 Z06 can cause vibrations that lead to rattling, especially if the mounting or insulation is insufficient.Weather Stripping and Seals: Worn or improperly installed weather stripping and seals can cause noise as the car moves and vibrates.Interior Trim: Various pieces of interior trim can vibrate against each other or against the door panel, leading to rattles.Potential Solutions:Tightening Fasteners: Inspect the door panel and tighten any loose screws or fasteners. This often requires removing the door panel to access the internal components.Adding Insulation: Adding additional insulation or foam padding around the speakers and between the door panel and the frame can help dampen vibrations and reduce rattles.Checking and Replacing Weather Stripping: Inspect the weather stripping around the doors. Replace any worn or damaged sections to ensure a snug fit and reduce noise.Securing Interior Trim: Apply adhesive felt or foam padding between trim pieces that might be causing the rattle. Ensure that all trim pieces are securely fastened and not vibrating against each other.Professional Inspection: If the rattle persists, consider taking the car to a professional. They can use specialized tools and techniques to identify and resolve the source of the rattle.Steps to Remove Door Panels (General Guide for C8 Corvette):Remove Door Handle Trim: Carefully pry off the trim around the door handle to access hidden screws.Remove Screws and Fasteners: Locate and remove all screws and fasteners securing the door panel. These are typically found near the edges and behind trim pieces.Detach the Door Panel: Gently pull the door panel away from the door frame, starting at the bottom and working your way up. Be cautious of any electrical connectors for power windows, locks, and speakers.Inspect and Tighten: Once the door panel is removed, inspect for loose components, add insulation as needed, and tighten any screws or fasteners.By addressing these potential causes and following the suggested solutions, you can significantly reduce or eliminate door panel rattles in your Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06.

I would "assume" the dealer's charging over MSRP nowadays are few. Even in California it "seems" dealers are getting very close or at MSRP even on the Z06. It still isn't a "can get any day of the week" car, but the days of huge premiums appear to be few. But then again, I haven't actually gone through the process either. We all know how dealers talk one game and change up when bringing out the paperwork.
@GinNBoost
@GinNBoost 8 күн бұрын
Correct. On the east coast there are plenty of dealers selling nicely spec’d Z06s for MSRP. And even some lightly used ones selling for under sticker. There’s actually a Facebook group dedicated to tracking and locating under MSRP or lower C8 Z06s.

Adjusting the rear caster of the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 involves precise work and typically requires specialized tools and knowledge. Here is a general guide on how to adjust the rear caster:Preparation:Tools and Equipment: You will need a car lift or jack and stands, a set of wrenches, a torque wrench, and potentially a caster/camber gauge.Safety: Ensure the car is parked on a flat, level surface. Engage the parking brake and use wheel chocks to secure the vehicle.Steps to Adjust Rear Caster:Lift the Car: Safely lift the car using a car lift or jack and jack stands, ensuring the rear wheels are off the ground.Locate the Suspension Components: Identify the rear suspension components, specifically the control arms and caster adjustment points.Loosen the Bolts: Loosen the bolts on the rear control arms where they connect to the chassis. This might involve both the lower and upper control arms depending on the adjustment design.Adjust the Caster: Adjust the caster angle by either moving the control arms forward or backward. Some vehicles might have eccentric bolts or adjustable arms specifically designed for this purpose.Tighten the Bolts: Once the desired caster angle is achieved, tighten the bolts to the manufacturer’s specified torque settings using a torque wrench.Verify the Adjustment: Lower the vehicle and check the caster angle using a caster/camber gauge. Make fine adjustments as needed.Notes:Professional Alignment: It's often recommended to have a professional alignment shop perform this adjustment to ensure precision. Incorrect adjustments can affect vehicle handling and tire wear.Manufacturer Specifications: Always refer to the specific service manual for the C8 Z06 for precise specifications and procedures, as they may vary slightly.Final Steps:After adjustments, take the car for a test drive to ensure it handles correctly.If unsure or uncomfortable with this process, seek assistance from a professional mechanic or alignment specialist.

Back in the 90s when I had my ZR1 in Ft Lauderdale it was the same thing, nobody outside my local independent Chevy dealer knew how to deal with the 32 valve engine. Corvette used to have a competition every year for Corvette mechanics and the winner wins a base model Corvette that generally focused on the most complicated model, ZR-1 C06, find one of those winners. Any good Corvette dealership should be able to do a factory 4 wheel alignment, but after some autocross with a friend who had a similar ZR1 I go to an independent alignment shop with my own set of numbers.

Cross shopping the Stingray with the F-Type and LC 500. Car vs car I think the C8 wins. However I am not sure I can get over the dealership experience compared to the other brands. Trying to see and sit in a C8 has been an unpleasant dealership experience. Forget about test drives. Mean while I have been welcomed to test drive the others. Thanks for your video.

You’re very welcome. GM dealerships do seem to be on the greedy/inexperienced side when it comes to corvettes lately so I understand the hesitation. With that said, I wouldn’t change the car I bought for anything other than a C8 ZR1! 👍👍

Great honest review as a long time Corvette owner I appreciate your honesty. The point you make about Service support, dealer markup and just an overall bad buying experience has just turned me off on GM and the new Vettes and with the C8ZR1 coming expect that to command and huge price tag. So many other really nice cars you can chose form for the price of a Corvette with much better dealership support and overall quality of the product. Cool car but just not that impressed with the value to ownership of the New Corvettes. I'll probably get some hate for my opinion but I have owned 7 over the last 10 years the the best ones I owned was my 17Z06 and my 13ZR1. Now that I am older with a bad back I just roll around in a 24 Raptor R for fun. Great channel keep up the good work.

Great video, Justin, as usual. Just a few comments to add to your spectacular review: Looks like a Ferrari more than a Ferrari: Legend has it that Charlie Chaplin himself entered a "Charlie Chaplin Look-a-Like" contest and got THIRD place! Sometimes, what people think they see is not what they actually see. Although I must admit that even I had a little trouble at the beginning distinguishing between a C7 Vette and a Ferrari 812. GM work is mediocre: I live in Miami and I had the very same issue with my C7. You would think that a Miami dealership (we have the #1 Vette dealer in the nation--Bomnin Chevrolet) would have the Vette experts on hand. They don't. One "expert" had trouble figuring out why when it rained it caused a leak inside the driver's side footwell. And every time I went in for service, they treated me like I owned a Chevy Spark! Porsche and Mercedes Benz treated me way better. Squeaks and rattles: I had the same issue with a Porsche Cayman S I owned after I sold my C7. Here is how the Porsche service agents found the rattle. They took off one piece at a time, then drove around to hear if the rattle continued. After removing three or four parts, they found that it was part of the door hinge that caused the squeak. I now drive a Mercedes Benz AMG and the rattling came from the seatbelt (plastic) parts on the door and B pillar.
