I seem to consider the 911 more with each passing year as it looks so sophisticated vs. the cartoonish C8. But then I hear the engine noise of the C8 vs. the 992 and it turns me into a big kid - who the hell am I trying to impress anyways - it's cartoons for me!

I would completely “Karen” this, in other words be incessant, the facts are on your side. The US forum has no shortage of threads, share them if need be (I did). This paint defect was so common it’s not even up for an argument. Plus, a stone chip in a recessed area? Cmon. No need to get abusive...

Buffeting too with the targa roof off is an issue. My wife's wind deflector on her full drop top bimmer is amazing, but Corvette has no such solution. So I'm at 8 bad things - bad targa buffeting, loud road noise, some rattles, poor paint, SMC panel wavyness, average stereos, soft rims, chevy...

Oh, and the soft cast alloy rims on all vettes. I know you get what you pay for and they're not forged like various high end manufacturers, but even Dodge has forged rims on their Challengers/Chargers SRTs.

For me it's the road/tire noise and the odd rattle on my GS. Stereo is kinda meh too. Poor paint quality and some wavyness in the SMC panels. Chevy dealers also mostly suck. Not a big fan of Vette stereotypes either, hence my tinted windows ;) ...otherwise, all this aside, I LOVE the car...

I've had cars keyed and rims stolen, it really is an awful feeling. I remember living in Toronto on my own in my early 20's, barely able to keep a roof over my head. I had a cheap little hot hatch but I loved it and kept it mint, made sure not to rice it up to avoid calling any attention to it...

Thanks for sharing, it does look sharp in silver but I still don't fully dig the new design. Seems the reviews agree with your findings (quieter, more refined, smooth riding, nicer interior), but I'm still not fully sold on the mid-engine'd dynamics, and hate the auto only. That said, I've been...

Got the same issue on my white 17GS when it was new, most of other C7s I looked at the time had it too. After a lot of BS I finally got a warranty replaced bumper from GM, painted and replaced at the shop of my choosing on GM's tab, and got it home and Xpel wrapped it right away (this part was...

Thanks all for the responses. I'll try something and report back.

This will be year 3 with my GS and I can`t believe I haven`t taken it on track - too many excuses! But I`m a bit ashamed of myself so this year I`m gonna goddamn go! That said, it`s been a few years (on 4 wheels and 2) so I`m being a bit careful with who I`ll be sharing the track with, plus I...

Thanks for the response, glad it was only 24hrs. I`m sure they`ll need to test drive it before giving it back and I hate the idea of that - I know they`re not all bad but I had a bad experience in the past. Oh well. Re. loaners - these guys have yet to indicate they`ll provide one, we`ll...

Thanks all for the replies. As the original owner I got a letter, but going onto the GM site GMJim referred to shows this for my VIN: Recall Title: Loss of Power Steering Assist Recall Description: General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in...

And how long did it take? Anything to look out for? Did you get a loaner? My '17 GS is going in April.

Yep, not cracked but out of round on my '17 GS. I live and drive in the GTA, am super careful (never curb rash, always looking out for potholes), usually have the suspension on tour mode. Sometimes I sensed the slightest of vibrations soon after I bought it, otherwise I have a garage lift so I'm...

And Teslas? Give me a break. Only one way to define fast and that's around a track, and it's well documented that Tesla's are useless where it counts. And for every $150000 model S P100 w/ludicrous mode there's 100 model S P75 models with full time lame mode.
