Every owner that has had a blown engine on this forum has been attacked and blamed by a small group of vitriolic fanbois. Besides a lack of class you are harming all corvette owners by trying to lay the blame at anyone's feet besides GM who are solely reposible.

Keep up the good work Sherlock Holmes.

I wont waste my time on you.
You're the one with the problems. Next time don't put it on the internet forum for GM, the dealership, and the world to read. I've only repeated exactly what you wrote. Don't worry everybody on the forum here with half a brain can figure out your problem by reading your posts that you put out there.

My car was stock but yet thru me in the loop. Anyone here on the forum with 1/4 of the brain you have will know if my car was modded gm wouldnt warranty it and buy my car back. You must have no life you go thru this guys posts to see what days he posted stuff about his car then went to add to the post he made to show him these days to try to discredit him. You really need to get a girlfriend... or boyfriend whatever makes you happy and stop spending hours following another guy around to see what he posted in the past lol

Threads like this make me so proud to be a forum member

My buddies C7 blew the motor at 2600 miles, he insisted on a new car, took 7 months and 4 days so he lost the whole driving season but he has a 2015 now!

Best of luck to the op, if they ship a new motor you can be up and running in a week!

Ok skank, I will lay out the logic. We will neglect all the parts for sale from Z06 #1 as these are irrelevant once we establish there are TWO DIFFERENT Z06 that walhan has owned. I will reiterate that it is YOU skank that has invoked the OP's previous posts and drawn the wrong conclusions:

Z06 #1 (Jan 27, 2015), and the one with the headers, mods, etc, you are complaining about:

Originally Posted by walhan_qtr

it has a little over 500miles. still looks brand new.

...blah blah....


- White w/ Blue Interior


...blah blah...

Z06 #2 (June 24, 2015) from the OP of this thread:

Originally Posted by walhan_qtr

...blah blah...
BTW, Z06 #2 (the one in for repair) has a red interior, Z06 #1 had a blue one...

Again, Z06 #2 (June 27, 2015, in this same thread):

So lower mileage on Z06 #2 ...5 months AFTER Z06 #1 went up for sale. So in your one Z06 theory, how did the mileage decrease from over 500 to under 300 in 5 months?

Next??
So then you [skank] wrote this a few posts ago... Still think this is true?

Easy to explain how it is one car:

He switched out interior from Blue to red anyone can do that in their garage - then built a time machine and brought the car back with 200 fewer miles on it. Boom.

1.21gigawatts@88mph with a side of flux capacitor is all it takes.

Hey WAIT....OP, was a Mr. Fusion the aftermarket mod that has the GM dealership denying you service? Or did I miss that in your post history?

skank, I'll save you the research:

I know its a bit of a drive for you, but maybe getting your car down to Purifoy would be a good idea. They do a lot Corvette business.

You are confused. Like i've said before, go READ his posts, then go READ his Public Profile(About Me section) where he has indicated that he had a modded silver 07 C6 ZO6, a modded black 09 C6 ZO6, a modded Red Z51 2014 C7 Stingray, then a modded 2015 White/Blue C7 ZO6/ZO7 with ARH headers/ Pulley/ CAI that he wrote on his Bradenton Motorsports Park 1-11-2015 post. No where have I read that he has had 2 C7 ZO6s. READ and concentrate before you post again. We'll wait.

skank, I have read his posts, as have you. You have done an amazing job of understanding the OP's cars...EXCEPT the one in for repair. Unfortunately, none of them are relevant to this discussion. I'm not sure why you reference them; the OP makes no secret of modding his cars...except the one in for repair. You still haven't admitted your error (in post #67) where you accused the OP of the broken axle and ported heads on his Z06...but they were both on his '14 C7/LT1.

The only two threads necessary to figure this out are the Z06 for sale thread and this thread.

Answer this simple question before digging your hole deeper: how do you explain the mileage DECREASE from 500+ miles (car for sale in January) to 283 miles (the OP car in for repair) if the OP only has/had one 2015 C7 Z06?


More clues that have eluded you:

By your own admission, "the" Z06 has a BLUE interior. The Z06 in for repair has a RED interior. So it's a different one. As for the red interior, those "reading and concentrating" got this:



And even in this thread in #108, the OP says (again referring to TWO Z06 cars with different options):

And again in post #71:

First, I don't know why you would want to speak to the Warranty Manager. There is no warranty manager, just a clerk that inputs operation codes and part numbers into a computer to get GM to reimburse them for work. This person can't do anything for you.

Second, ask them if the Sales and Service Agreement they have with Chevrolet/GM requires them to perform warranty work on any Chevrolet that is under warranty. It does. Violating their franchise contract is an easy way to lose the franchise. The GM or owner of that store needs to smack his service manager upside the head for being an idiot.

With that said, this is the problem you can run into when you buy your car from forum dealers across the country (that's an assumption, I didn't read the whole thread since it's a bunch of crybaby bullsht). The local dealer gets a chip on their shoulder, which is immature.

I hope the fix is quick. GM has never failed me on warranty work and I'm sure they won't for you either. Your positive attitude is spot-on!

Your off base here. The title says it "Another one down means the second one and guys like me on here almost daily know.
Glad your not a real detective cause you have a false arrest here! Your the half brain on this and that's giving you extra credit!

The problem is not that they cannot do the job. Its just the refuse to. This car is not in Colorado. The second dealer is about 3 hours drive so not cery convienent for me really. But I contacted GM customer service and i will see what they want me to do.

Thanks
