Default Thanks Chevy

I find it hard to believe after 7 generations of corvettes just now they figured out they should install a front camera. I just joined the scraped z06 splitter club. Wasnt this an issue with the c6 or 5? Chevy should at least make this something we all can add on

I've heard curb alert works well. I don't have experience with it though. It's not a Chevy solution, but at least it's there. Hopefully the scrape isn't too bad!

Back in when possible, or leave plenty of room for error, no biggie.

Redstar, sorry to hear about you splitter. You've just got to be careful. I do my best to never get close to curbs. And, I always go at a sharp angle when needed.


Yes, it's frustrating, but I bet you won't do it again!

Mini curb alert-$149.00, 20 minute install and issue resolved forever, no guessing no worries, get it done. Mic drop.

So YOU hit something with your car and it's Chevy's fault?
You act like a 1986 Ford Taurus had forward cameras....

Be accountable for running into **** when you are holding a steering wheel. I have a z06 splitter and zero problems. But if I do scrape something it will be 100% on me

^^^^THIS^^^^ Realize that the C7 is not a long wheelbase vehicle, and that you don't need to pull all the way into the front of parking spaces. Leave plenty of room.
