I would say it is a good thing you are not a Benz buyer with regard to where they are (MBUSA) and their website. My 2023 Benz is built and waiting for shipment from Germany, and MBUSA *JUST UPDATED* to show the 2022 cars online. This is not the first time they have been that slow... As for options & packages, I have purchased many options/packages that have *NEVER* made it to the MBUSA website.

Point is MBUSA knows I buy "regularly", so they are reaching out to me to ask what I want in my next car, and telling me *EVERYTHING*.

My Corvette dealer knows the same about me and keeps me in the loop, because they know I am a buyer.

In addition to the links posted above that I believe answered all your questions so far, what else would you like to know that if you didn't know would keep you from buying your Z06?

 

My concern is we have a bunch of people (myself included) on this forum at 3000 status and not a soul has progressed to the next status. The cars are rumored to start building next week albeit only 30 of them. I would think SOMEONE on here would know someone with a TPW for next week? In perhaps related news, I got my first ever email from GM about the points program today. Wonder if this is a small sign for me?

 

The OP is just trolling as he always does! Any negative news about the Corvette makes him happy! I think he's being paid to be on here and troll lol.

 

In the very thread you linked and are highly active in, the actual wet weights are shared. So how is that you’ve managed to arrive 100lbs lighter?

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1605602601

 

I have been at 3300 since last Wednesday and my TPW is 9/12

 

did you get a custom vin or any carbon fiber?

 

no Z07, no optional CF (inside or out), no edge red parts!

 

Uh oh! Didn't you read the post up-thread from a guy that heard a year ago from some GM employee that does vehicle testing that the FPC wasn't going to be reliable?!?

 

guess I should have bought a Porsche

 

... are you sure they won't embargo it longer to keep all the people in the dark that have been in line to get the car for years and now have to wait until next year to get it? That would fit in with Chevy's modis operandi for the C8Z.

 

Maybe they will allow driving impressions, but embargo numbers since its not a numbers car haha

 

Well,
Do YOU believe the 3,434 pounds dry number?
It came FROM GM and seems to have been accepted by the forum. So...I took that number and added 185 pounds for all fluids.
Nothing magical. I did all the weights (18.5 gallons of gas, etc) and came up with 185 pounds for all fluids. If you think this is incorrect, then the first number you should question is the 3,434 pound number, I'll assure you my 185 pounds for fluids is accurate.

 

Indeed...they never break...

 

So you do not think the 3,434 pound weight is accurate, correct?
I'm just pointing out the whether YOU care or not, if you think the 3,434 pound weight IS correct for a Z07 with CFwheels and CCB's, then my wet weight is pretty damn spot on.

PS. No, I don't work for either...but YOU work (or more likely just take it upon yourself to troll competing websites) for Porsche in the social media dept.

 

Dry weight for Z06 has been published in each edition of the Order Guide since July at 3500 coupe and 3599 convertible. What options may be included isn’t specified.

 

Wow. I typically ignore your relentless Corvette bashing/Porsche fanboy posts. As like the mods often say, don’t feed the trolls.

But, against my better judgment, I opened this one out of sheer morbid curiosity. And I have to tell you, I was really impressed that you didn’t mention PORSCHE even once in your original, (almost hourly at this point) version of "Let’s bash literally everything Chevy-GM-Corvette."


And that’s because after years of watching you post. literally. the same. exact. ****. in. basically. every. post. you. type... about. any. Corvette. developed. sold. or. released. in the last. 4 to 5 years…


(At least since the launch of the C7 ZR1 when I started reading this forum.. which means yes, I'm very familiar with your constant trashing on that car too)


…I, like anyone else who has read at least TWO of your posts since 2019, have long since realized that essentially every crybaby, (I’m sorry, that was rude) troll comment you make about any new corvette’s:

design

engineering

materials

workmanship

reliability

performance

price

value

buyers

marketing

And of course, ownership experience..

(all while masquerading as a Corvette “fan” no less)

..is really for the sole purpose of teeing up your opportunity to fawn all over the (enter any Porsche model here) and more so, the Porsche "gods" who apparently (maybe since birth?) do absolutely everything right, and they do it better than anyone else. (Well, at least better than Chevy anyway.)


And so, you can imagine my astonishment when I realized that, wow, there was no mention of Porsche anywhere in your first post.

I was excited!

I was truly hoping that this thread was actually going to be different. I foolishly believed that THIS hour’s thread, was genuinely ONLY for the sake of bashing something new Corvette-Chevrolet-GM related.


But, then sadly, I read your second post..


Ahhhh, yup. There it is.


Sigh… I guess it was just not to be.


Ahh well. Maybe next time, right?


Oh, wait.. nevermind.


Look, for whatever it's worth, and all joking aside.. Yes, there have been plentiful issues plaguing this launch, and of course GM has made mistakes with this launch that can't all be attributed to the pandemic. But, with that said, most of your "new" posts are basically just re-worded versions of your earlier ones, where at best you are just repeating things you've already said numerous times, and at worst.. you just get creative and lump together a collection of your (and everyone else's) previous complaints that are well-known and beaten to death, just to appear like something startling that warranted starting a whole new thread. Kinda like this one.


More importantly, look at your history here on this Forum.


It is indisputable that your endless, relentless Corvette bashing FAR predates ANYTHING related to the C8 Z06.


All of which begs the question.. Why are you still here?


I guess that's a rhetorical question since we all already know the answer.


You need a new hobby.

^^^
You win the internet for the day!!! Seriously, perfectly stated!

I wonder what joy the OP and his minions/followers/people who've never had an ORIGINAL thought/etc get from this constant RESTATING of the SAME crap they've said 100 times before?
For the sake of your sanity (AND OURS!), just MOVE ON
If something bugged me as much as the C8 Z06 intro and GM bugs you guys, I would MOVE ON. Why put oneself through all this angst?

 

With the right email to Internet Brands.... they could be reminded that selling Porsches on the Corvette Forum is not a good business idea.
At first it may create conflict clicks but strategically the whole looses readership and they move on...

Competition is a good thing. The Corvette is not the only cool car out there. Some people even own both at the same time!

 

^^^^^So cancel culture lives in the C8 Z06/ZR1 forum.
I'm not sticking up for the OP in any way but remember that people are free to avoid participating in threads if the subject bothers them.
