I had this happen to me 2 weeks after buying a brand new 2003 Z06. It was a loose ground connection. Dealer diagnosed and fixed it in less than 45 minutes.

Factory has a problem of connecting plug wires correctly.
And, because you have a problem you want to "blow it up", real mature attitude, what are you twelve?

It's called ranting. You're not in the OP's shoes. You've never ranted about anything? You know what they say about glass houses. Lighten up dude and move on to the next post.

The car certainly is not driven much. My money is on the fact that you probably need a new battery. As most all Corvette folks know when you have these types of problems it is usually a battery.

A battery on its last leg will cause many of the symptoms you describe.
