Strange, isn't it. It seems the only time some little problem occurs, it's when my wife is out driving somewhere.

Can your wife drive a stick? If she's like mine, there's a fix for this problem.

I'm sorry you had so many problems. I think your car could be considered a lemon. If you look at reviews online you will discover that your car is atypical of the quality built into the C6. Your post also makes me feel better I bought the GMPP warranty.

Thank you, once again, everyone who has been helping. Next update in August. The years with "small sample sizes" are just a few cars short, so additional participants would be very helpful.

I tried to enter my 2011 Corvette Grand Sport, with LS3 engine option, but you don't have any Grand Sport options available.

It only shows the LS2 engine and the base corvette.

Let me know when you fix it, and I'll add more info........

Meaning, you need to have an LS3 engine option for base and Grand Sport corvette body styles, with the LS3 engine available from 2008 thru 2013, and the Grand Sport available from 2010 thru 2013.

I also emailed you thru your website too.

mkaresh

Thanks for the tip. Maybe you know something I don't, but my understanding is that the LS3 was the standard engine during all of these model years. The LS2 was last offered in the 2007.

Are you referring to the dry sump vs. the regular LS3? The specs are otherwise the same, so there's no way to list it separately.

I entered the GS as an option package on the base car rather than as a separate model. This was years ago, so I cannot recall my reasoning at the time. Unless Grand Sports have unique reliability issues, this shouldn't be a problem. Does it?

So, how have these cars been doing lately?

Our reliability stats for the Corvette now include owner experiences through March 31, 2015. (Others are nearly a year behind.)

In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2008 Corvette: 24, low
2007 Corvette: 33, low, small sample size
2006 Corvette: 20, low, small sample size
2005 Corvette: 42, low, very small sample size

Next updates in August and in November. As suggested by the sample size notes, additional participants would be very helpful.

Our reliability stats for the Corvette now cover the year ending June 30, 2015. (Others are over a year behind, and so report how these cars were doing when a year younger.)

Repair trips per 100 cars:

2008 Corvette: 27, low
2007 Corvette: 33, low, small sample size
2006 Corvette: 26, low, small sample size
2005 Corvette: 49, low, very small sample size

If a model year isn't listed, or its sample size is small, then we especially need more owners involved. Some of these are just below the minimum.

We've updated our reliability stats for the Corvette to include owner experiences through the end of 2015, about eight months ahead of other sources. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year--lower is better:

2008 Corvette: 36, low
2007 Corvette: 52, low, small sample size
2006 Corvette: 20, low, small sample size
2005 Corvette: 38, low, small sample size

No stat, or a small sample size? Then we especially need more owners involved for that model year.
