Can't say the same about the first year C8 transmission issues and first year 6th Gen ZL1 oil pump issues though. There have also been quite a few engine failures in the first year C8 Z06. Just saying, its always a gamble buying the first year and statistics prove it. 2015 Camaro also had a well known battery cable issue.

I guess luck w the SS and my zl1 I used the oil pump over in the build never a problem and the oil was the same from 3 miles to 42,000 miles.

The trans makes this car for sure!

I certainly wish you the best and hope you don't have any issues. I was on a waiting list to buy a C8 Z06 but kept getting the run around and finally got enough and decided to wait until some of the hype dies. By then, hopefully they'll have the engine and transmission issues worked out. I'm honestly more interested in the E-Ray now since it was announced but I wouldn't want to be a first year early adopter on that model either. The E-Ray would suit me more for around town driving experience but if I spent a lot of time tracking my car on a road course, the Z06 would be the way to go, its a seriously impressive machine at any price.

If you want no list Bastrop covert dealer 15 to 20 k over build your own next allocation talk to Buster. Also
In Tyler Texas they were doing 15k over maybe 1 or 2 on a list.

You would be 1st on an eray list!

How can you not also miss the traction problems our ZL1s have/had on the road? Do you still believe that R888R is the best street tire for dry conditions?

So I played stupid and traded at a VW dealership where I bought a daily driver since I switched jobs. They gave me 45 something I used it in the car deal but kept the cash. Since my trade was worth more than the daily (vw Tiguan R model) I saved just under 5k in tax which gave me 50k for a 2017 w 42,000 miles.

I paid 60k for the zl1 finaced at 1.89 drove it for 6 years so really had a nice car for 6 years and it didn't cost but 10k plus a little in interest for the zl1.

I have had 4 modded cars at best you get back about 1/3 of the mods. My tuner is in poor health cancer I believe so I didn't want to mess with me pulling stuff off and getting it returned if it had been winter time and cooler I might have. But with me just changing jobs and I have full use of the shop and lift I didn't think it was right to tear apart my car just starting a job that paid for the z06 lol.

Since your car was modified, were they still able to take it in on trade? I'm having a lot of issues trying to find a dealership here in cali that will take a modified vehicle in on trade....may be a california issue tho.....

Most likely California because they're worried about the strict requirements. People trade-in modified cars all the time in other states without any issues.

As for an all around tire able to drive in some rain, take a corner at high speeds, and still have good traction dry off the line yes the 345s did me right. I can't really compare now since a lot of the weight is over the tire now and I still need 600 more miles for all the performance.

Yes, the vw clear lake took it no problems it was when I was selling out right is when the questions arose.
