They ran over what looked like a steel body clip. It put a 1 inch cut in the tire, not repairable.

No problems that I haven't caused! Power top wouldn't go up, but only because the fabric separating the trunk from the top wasn't tight enough. Lost my stainless O-R letters (accessories), took a month to get new ones.

14,200 mi Z51 6Spd 1SB

Only persistant problem is dash warning:

Ck ABS - Shocks Inop - Stab Control Inop - Svc Vehicle Soon

Another problem I had to day was that my DIC said:

"Quit messing with my shroud - make that Big Honker go away"

April build, mid-May delivery. Z-51, 1SB, XM, polished wheels, 6MN. 1100 miles. absolutely no problems. great car. The Carrera 996 it replaced had to have the windows reseated to eliminate serious thumping noise, new battery, new alternator, all in 15K miles. the C-6 is faster, more fun, (so far) more reliable, more comfortable and better looking. Not bad, considering it cost $25K less.


C6 needs bluetooth, change holder, a coat hook. and tires with a better rain capability. Other than that, it is an absolute home run and the most capable sports car i've ever owned. my first Corvette, but it won't be my last.

4400 miles, and One toasted Slave Cylinder, one faulty RF antenna----driver's side.....that's it. Even though I had a Major MAJOR issue, I am as happy as can be with the "Blue Monster"

Lets see ...
I have eaten through 3 quarts of oil in 1500 miles
gasoline cant be put into the car it comes outof the nozzle or comes out of the bottom of the car which is always a thrill when people are smoking nearby (which happened the other day) kinda makes your hair stand on end when you look down and you feet are wet cause the gas is spraying out of the car
I get about 8 miles to the gallon
both fuel senders are bad so it runs kinda rough

this is my first GM product in 20 years the dealer is cool and apologetic

Luv the car but these problems are pretty nuts

No Problems with the smiling Great White. Just a little raddle from the glove box. I fixed it with a 1 inch foam strip.

Dead battery at 2800 miles. Down about two hours. Perfect other than that now with 3800 miles.

I have 17987 miles on my C6 - I had it lowered, put Borlas, and replace the stocked breather - the only problem I had is the signal bulb right bad - replaced it and I had to add some power steering fluid

1200 miles with fuel sending unit gone bad and gas cap will nit lock up. Love the car, just hope that my dealer service department can replace the FSU and not cause any other problems.
