I find it interesting that the GM has a true and solid hit in the new C7, and suddenly "JUNIOR" members are suddenly having blown engines left and right after the documented Car and Driver situation. Tbong, yes.. i see U as a Junior member who started up account just 4 months ago and yet has 454 posts almost all negative.
. I joined with a Corvette INTENDING FULLY to buy a C7 and even making trips to see some of the forum dealers. I read the C&D article and read how GM is "supporting those with the same issue" and brought to to the forefront. IF most of my posts are negitive it is because I found negativity in the vehicle I wanted to know about and ask for opinion. I should know better than to seek opinions from "trophy magnet" types with their head in the sand , fingers in their ears shouting lalalalalalalala when there is clearly an issue.
If that was your $70,000 car out of commission for the entire Summer I would bet you would be singing a different tune. I guess these cars are just glorified Camaros to many of you, But even they have a better reliability number.
You want to stick your head in the sand go ahead. I did the research and did not find the 05 C6 to have the same engine failures brought to the forum ( except for the Z06 valve dropping issue), It has been THREE months since the one I posted has blown and STILL NO RECTIFICATION THAT SHOULD MEAN MORE THAN THE TIME IT HAPPENED.....But of course a brand homer would not even consider that part of the Problem......It's probably the customer's fault.
I am NOT buying a C7, Not because of the car but because of how GM is handling the issues and their "excuse" or "analysis"

I don't care if you think I am a Jr" member. As far as I'm concerned the more senior a member is the more of a homer and apologist they will be and the less credible they will be when it comes to GM backing up the brand. Jr Member are the only member who are not spoiled by years of Corvette ownership and brand loyalty,

Then since U are not buying a C7... why are U so adamant about ruing the experience for others?
Seriously??
Why are U here is U have no "interest" in the C7???
I'm here and not at the C6 or C5 or C4 or C3 forums because I moved on.. sad for U that I am so far every happy with my now 3K miles on my C7. No issues and plenty of smiles and great feeling when I drive it.

Wow...no doubt, we have weeded out the troll (Tbong). My wife and I have owned 7 corvettes (2 C5, 5 C6, and buying a C7...I am a junior member to the forum simply because I don't feel the need to comment that often.
So, according to your argument, you are less credible...on that we can agree...troll.
