I had both a '11 GT500 and a '12 Boss 302 prior to the Z. I was not a big fan of the Shelby as it was hard to put the power to the ground with narrow rear tires and 3.73 gears. The Boss was a great...

This may be the case, but if the new Z is considerably more expensive than the Gen 5 it may actually help our values.

Update

I finally got the 500 mile break-in completed on my replacement gears that whined from day one. I'm still not sure why I had to put 500 miles on the car when the service manager and I both could...

I intend to keep fighting. Ultimately I might throw in the towel and sell the car, but not until I have exhausted every reasonable course of action to get it fixed.

I agree. This was why I pushed for new complete rear diff, but GM balked. Now things are worse than before and I have to live with it until I can get 500 more miles on the car.

I'm surprised how...

I appreciate the input. Most of my gear experience is with Jeeps and if they whined after install they never seemed to get better. Maybe things will improve after some mileage, but I'm not getting...

My differential woes

I really want to love my '15 Z, but I'm about fed up with Chevrolet regarding my noisy rear diff.

Within the first week of ownership I noticed some gear whine on coast between 40 and 50mph. I...

GM has killed the value of these cars. The 20% off deals let you buy a brand new ZL-1 for under $50k.

This is a classic problem manufacturers face with niche vehicles. You either build more...

That is good to hear. I'm going to be relying on the dealership having a tech that can set this rear end up right. GM would not approve a completely new rear diff and instead opted for a complete...

I prefer driving a manual and would go that route unless my ZL1 was a daily driver. I have a long commute in fairly heavy traffic so an auto would be my preference if I only had one vehicle.

Maybe you are right. At this point I will just live with the whine and see if it gets worse. I'm too busy at the moment to be running the car back and forth to the dealership.

I wish that was an option, but the dealer has no ZL1s in stock.

I dropped my '15 off this morning for the gear whine I have coasting between 40 and 50 mph. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the dealer will fix it right the first time.
