2126 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Heck, it was probably a Monday or Friday car! Still, the new Vettes are pretty bad *** car the $$$!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest l28et Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Typical GM garbage build quality. $75,000+ sports car that falls apart at 60mph? Its funny reading those guys defending Chevy... - had this happened on a 911 they'd change their tune. Apparently this is a common problem on the C6.

Apparently this is a common problem on the C6.[/quote']Actually, its the first reported case on a Z06. They have a fixed roof. The recall for delamination is on the non Z06 with removable roof. I know because mine is separating on the back end. That being said, thats the only problem with the car. My first year 350z had the tranny replaced at 9000 for grinding and the engine replaced at 22k for excessive oil consumption, plus the alignment was never right and the cloth seats frayed at 8000 miles.

Guest l28et Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I just re-read my post - that was a little harsh. The C6/Z06 is an amazing car, but that is still unbelievable. I can't believe how many problems you had with your 350Z. That was going to be my next car.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageskaterkid Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 first year designs.....usually end up bad. Acutually I recall that they vettes did come Ttop for quite a few years, but when they announced the Z06, they also got rid of the Ttops. I hope they bring back the ttops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one piece removable roof of the C6 is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Yup, 2003 is correct. By and large, you won't buy a better built car overall. The C5 is an amazing car, and the C6 is just an extention on that design. On the plus side, there is so much attention being give to the new Z06s that dealerships don't quibble about warranty work on the new Z06. On the negative side, the wait is on average 9 months for a 2007 model Z06, I know because I was going to order one last week and couldn't find anyone to give me list pricing and 5 months to delivery. Guess I let that car out of the bag, Huh? So I'm looking at used 996 Porsches and 2004-2005 Vipers, as well as 2006 C6s as replacements for my 99C5 modified vette. I am installing a new carbon fiber drive shaft in it this weekend and hope to have her delivered to her new home within the first couple weeks of May!
