Would 18,973 miles of normal street driving cause the tunnel carpet to shrink badly especially the passenger side on a 2013 3ZR ZR1 or am I looking at a possible ex track car? It is also missing the stock front spoiler and they are asking $64,900 .. I prefer a pampered Cars and Coffee Waxer as this may be my last Corvette at least for a while and I just want a good cherry stock one! ..Thanks for any input ,... Rob

This is a know issue, I had mine replaced under warranty at 1500 miles on my 2011 Z07; garage queen. I now have the same problem again at 3200 miles, although I have been Roll Racing with it the past two years and last summer it hit high 90's at the track.

​​​​​​ It does raise a red flag with me about the splitter not being on the car. Unless the previous owner had trouble parking and destroyed it against curbing.

The carpet would bother me but the spoiler is not a deal breaker I'm on my third front lip. You can try not to hit it but if you drive it you will hit it sooner or later. I just pick up a few on ebay for around $300 and swap it when it gets really bad. If you really want the car tell him you'll pay asking if he gets the carpet fixed. Also don't be scared of a car that's been to the track most of us who track our cars maintain our cars at a higher level than garage queens.

if you suspect track car look at the rotors they will be discolored

Thanks to all that answered my question... Glad to know that the tunnel carpet issue is not only a problem for track duty cars... I hope to get down to look at it in person today... This 2013 ZR1 is a pde car,.. CRM in color with a 3ZR cashmere interior and red calipers , stock black wheels and a ZO6 looking front spoiler ... I will post the car # once I talk with them to see if anyone knows this car. Thanks again... Rob

The 12/13 cars inherently have more heat in the tunnel with the two additional cats that GM installed on the leading end of the mid-pipe. It's certainly plausible that some carpet shrinkage could be attributed to that. Best of luck OP! CRM ZR's have grown on me over the last few years. Really sharp looking car.

I have a similar issue with the carpet on my 2012 ZR1, which was a PDE car. it is barely noticeable, but where the carpet meets the console it has shrunk.

only way to know how much life is left in the rotors is to weight them....that's it...period...

That is WAY to much money! If that car had a front spoiler and 2-3k miles then the price would be okay. If you have 65k to spend then keep looking, you can find a much lower mileage car with no issues for that money.

thats weird, I get shrinkage from the cold..................

But anyway, Ill have to look at my floors, but I only have 4200 miles on my waxer.

My leather dash is for sure shrinking.

gonna be hard for them to "pop up everywhere" when there's only 4500ish of them made in the world... I bet you will be able to buy a C7Z06 for cheaper than a C6ZR1 really soon

Price seems a little high for those miles on a ZR, honestly. There are lots of them out there with mileage in the mid-to-high 4 digits to be had around the $60K mark...and those aren't missing a $2K piece of the car.

And for God's sake, test drive the car between 70 and 90mph for the rotor vibration. No one likes paying an instant $6K for new rotors on a new-to-you car that doesn't even "need" them.
