Keep these coming GM! The prices on other vettes are dropping HARD. I still want that Yellow C5 Z06. If I can get one for 10-12K with 50kish miles I’d be stoked! ---

Being the first to buy the latest generation of any car always comes with surprises. The vette builds IIRC at the plants aren’t a specialized team unlike many other performance cars. They definitely weren’t at the engine plant. Same dickhead that would put on half the manifold bolts and drop some inside the heads on the 2.0L is the same dickhead building the vette engine. ---

Well the engines are built here in Tonawanda. But the cars are hand made in bowling green Kentucky. With any first year corvette, they are always the worst ones to buy. I know that in my c6 generation, there was almost 200 refinements or revisions. The 2 that stick out was the differential and ending the shift to reverse when parking. ---
