Default Build quality issues already

the carbon fiber engine cover not lining up is unacceptable to me on any $150k car.

The only problem with this is he needs views for $$$$. Controversy is king in his world. I'm not buying this bs rant!

I like the part with the smoking the tires and spinning the car around in that large lot.
Brings me back to the days when I was 16……

I don't mind that guy at all, at first, a year ago I thought he was a bit full of himself but now, he's alright in my books. Good for him for getting a ZR1, I hope he enjoys it and treats it right.

As far as I'm concerned, he's, what's that word that young people use nowadays.....epicly better than Parker Neurinstein (or however you spell his last name).

The video was stupid, it has nothing to do with the car, it's click bait which I guess is what enabled him to get the car in the first place...irony.

Its not click bait. Video starts silly but a few min in he talks about how the hood line is not lined up with the carbon fiber covers. Thats extremely poor in my opinion and is very visible. I wouldnt take delivery of a car if it looked like that.

again the video is not a joke although it starts like one

I just read all the comments. Can you all please fast forward the video to the part where he shows the concavity of the carbon fiber front engine cover and the line of the hood?

I agree this youtube guy is horrid. Very poor content. It's funny you mentioned parker. This guy and vehicle virgins are the only youtubers i don't like. lol

His BS youtube videos generate enough income to have a ZR1, another on the way, a Mclaren 520s and 900hp procharged Z06. Plus his Duramax truck.

Anything he has to say is of ZERO importance! Like his vids where he is begging people to post them on Corvette Forum so he gets more clicks.
IF A Forum member reports the issue then I'll take a look.
