Looking for advice and information as I'm thinking about buying a 2019 Z06.

Have there been any significant running changes/improvements that would be good to know about?

Thanks for any info.

Yeah, there is another thread here somewhere that mentions them all. The big ones are the upgraded fuel pump inside the drivers tank and the zr1 rear diff which holds more power. The pdr and/or dash track mode display are upgraded as well if i remember right.. pdr is still horrible resolution, but they supposedly did something to it if i remember correctly. There are others as well. Definitely stay away from the 2016 and 15's with the lower blower lid if you intend to run the car hard. Misfire gremlins are hard to solve in those cars.

All the 19 models of corvettes have the new stronger redesigned spider gears including the ZR1 due to rear ends blowing on all "stock" corvettes either from wheel hop or dumping the clutch from my understanding. From what I have gathered its not the HP that's causing it because it affects all the models; it's from sudden shock instantly trying to move all that weight.

I have a '19 M7 Z06 - supposedly the best of the last FE Z06 cars plus I wanted a manual. I was told that the following improvements are in the '19 and GM did not want to discuss them for a number of marketing reasons.

1. Much better paint and body fitment due to the new BG paint shop. I can attest personally to this - the Admiral Blue paint on my car is gorgeous, as good as the paint on my SQ5 Audi and better than the paint on my wife's '19 Mercedes GLC 300.
2. Spider gears from the ZR1 to eliminate a well known weakness in the rear
3. Upgraded MSRC shock programming - best available from the factory for C7 generation
4. Upgraded fuel pump from the ZR1
5. I was told there were some cooling upgrades

Thanks all so far. Good info. If I go ahead, mine will be a M7 convertible in Shadow Grey. Trying to decide in the next couple of days.

This thread has the most concise list I have found.
