I'll be with Corvette Design & Plant Personnel soon...post your questions here
My scheduled over the next few weeks includes:
August 20-25 - Bowling Green (2017 Grand Sport Buyer's Tour)
August 26-28 - Corvettes at Carlisle
August 31-September 4 - Bowling Green (Anniversary Celebration)
I fully anticipate that during this time frame we will all learn a great deal about the 2017 Z06. I will post that information real time if possible.
That said, there may be other questions that some may have. Feel free to post your questions here and I will do my best to secure answers to as many reasonable questions as possible.

Jag, I'm 42 years old. Am I of a good enough age to be adopted by you?
I have a few questions..
1) panel gaps: lots of c7s I've seen have funny gaps, often with the doors, but the back panel and hood area also show signs of small mis-alignments where a gap might be 5mm on one end, but only 2 on the other. Is this an acknowledged issue with assembly, and if so, what might be the plans for correction and when?
2) Thoughts/input on interior development.
To me, it's a very minor shame that a stingray, GS, and Z06 all have identical interiors. Shouldn't the Z, for example, default to an excellent interior given its 6 figure price point? One other minor shame is that the Camaro has a newer infotainment system (newer than even the 2017 c7), heated steering wheel, and a few other goodies.
What kind of stuff might we look forward to?
3) Exterior refresh
Just looking for anything that might hint at some possible changes in design philosophy or looks of the car.
Thanks dude!

Since my car has been perfect since I picked it up I have not a single question. But tell them thanks for the great car, for me. Best Corvette I have ever had and the best car I have ever owned as far as glitches or any type of warranty work.

Any chance the C7 get the rear camera mirror that's on the Caddy XT5 Crossover?

Please find out why the HUD does not include turn signal indicators and if they plan on adding them with either a firmware update or on future models.

Why no bump in HP on the GS ...
We would like to see an extended Bumper to Bumper warranty even if extra cost since so many more gadgets and electronics now.
Consider selling options alone w/o needing to be in a package that we don't want or need.

Buick and Cadillac have 5 year, 50,000 mile bumper to bumper. Why not their halo vehicle?

Is it
Flash update (which a lot of us did and had no affect)
the Stator (which I and others did and it didn't work),
the torque convertor (which others did and it didn't work)
the Trans Control Module...this is a new remedy from what I have seen
or a complete replacement of the trans with the new current part number ?
Do the right thing for us and you will be our hero.

Hero? I'd just like to be helpful, if possible.

Question for GM: Active Vent Hatch Actuator
I'd like to know if GM would offer a backfit kit for 2014-2015 C7 coupes that resolves the ineffective hatch vent actuator so we don't have to slam the hatch shut when the windows are closed. Offer either a resized vent with larger openings (if practical) or an electric closure/hold-down system as used on the 2016 and later models.

Please ask for the return of HD radio like the 2014 had. Cadillac's and GM full size trucks/SUV's have it, why not Corvette?
