Hahah!

Pfft, broken axles blown engine - there's no frame damage so it's ALL GOOD.

After the frame/chassis - everything is bolt-on. That's how I see it.

Oh yeah, and my car will be ready on Wednesday!

OMG I am sooooo suffering from S2000 withdrawal...

Peace...

$HIT!!!

Good news is always cancelled out by bad news!

Just got a call from Wilson Niblett - the vette may not be ready until Monday!

(It's in for a rattle from the exhaust and an O2 sensor)...

I just bitched them out a bit... we'll see what happens...



Apparently the Z06's are problem ridden??? Does anyone know about issues with the exhaust / emissions system in the new Z06??? Taylor - you must see some Z06's at autocross events... any feedback?

Stupid ass domestics. Not even 2K on the car and already the O2 sensor is toast. While I was at WN I noticed another Z06 with the same problem (according to the tech working on it)... but the owner wasn't around...

Does anyone know how to disable the auto headlight (twilight) function? When it starts getting dark outside, the headlights pop up automatically... I don't like it. Dealer says you can't disable it without an "illegal" mod and would not elaborate. I'm assuming some ECU mod...

Anyways, they BETTER have it ready damnit! It's been TOO long, I need to get OUT this weekend in something with more than 130hp!

Peace...

I've heard nothing from the Z06 owners about mechanical problems. If I remember, I'll be sure to ask them at this weekends "Corvette" event.

Well, I had a '99 C5 ragtop and it didn't have the rattle...

I'm gettin real frustrated... I haven't even had the chance to pull this car hard yet and it's already messing up... speaks volumes about GM quality...

I didn't even know you bought a Z06...man you gotta communicate more.

You should just buy a bike and an RRSP, atleast the RRSP won't break down all the time
