I am correct and you are not. You can say whatever irrelevant crap you want, but that's fact. Enjoy your day.

LOL that funny, I didn't know we were in grade school. you might as well have used the, I'm glue ur rubber, to justify your point. Doing a half *** job doesn't define as repair or attempt of repair. If GM replace the coolant with different type of coolant, would that be classified as repair? If GM puts the ZR1 front end on the Z06, any attorney will be more than happy to file a class action lawsuits, oh wait someone already did that. Either way GM knows they screwed up and is why ZR1 front is completely different and added more radiators.

So sorry to burst ur bubble of GM stepping up and correcting their mistake. It's been proven is the past that they don't do the right thing and they won't change until something big happens

And if anyone thinks they want the ZR1 front end, please go to the ZR1 section and look at those pictures of the 3 ZR1s on the steet in the wild without camouflage. They are butt ugly! Looks like a Z06 that just had 3 teeth extracted or a Z06 with a bad case of the Mumps.

agree. not fan of the front end. They could've done better job but looks like they use a sawzall to add more air

I just found that thread with the pics and video. It really does look terrible IMHO. I think the wheels, front bumper, front splitter and rear wing are all a step backwards design-wise from what we have on the Z06. I posted that opinion over there and I'll probably get destroyed for it, but I'm just being honest. When the Z06 was introduced it was a gut punch because I'd just bought a Stingray and suddenly it seemed like I had an inferior car, but I don't feel that way one bit after seeing the ZR1. In fact it makes me a lot happier with the Z06 I just bought this year.

There is that too! The heat testing limits were raised but on a hot day I think it still may over heat. These guys want a factory race car but they keep buying Corvettes! They should know they still will require
more mods. 90 Percent or more are sold to the those who drive there cars on the street for normal use. The Z06 is great for that!

Did you buy a A8 expecting to play race car driver with the car floored around the track all day and not expect it to get hot?
So now the only reason you post is to complain?
