Mine has been smelling of burning on numeous occasions and has stuck half way up at least once that I know of. I took one of the shop guys for a ride today, since they said they couldn't duplicate the issue and suspected I was driving too aggressive. I told them it started smelling bad when i backed it out of the drive this morning and when I pulled into their service lanes (very small incline).
The guy just seemed mad before he even got in the car. I pulled out of their shop and rev'd it up to about 2500 rpms and dropped the clutch. The tires squealed a little bit. Instantly clutch burning fumes filled the cabin and I left off the accelerator and just eased the car around the lot. The guy from the dealership basically told me that I was driving too aggressive and the car wasn't meant to be driven that way. Any time I was aggressive in driving, I should expect the car to act/smell that way.
So, if 2500 rpms is aggressive driving, I wonder what this guy would tell someone who has taken their car to the track? Is it just me or do dealers automatically assume we can't drive a stick? This is supposed to be a high performance car, but they are telling me that GM does not expect us to drive it no harder than a 90 year old lady would if she was on her way to Sunday church.
So what if I had a Z06 or ZR1? Am I able to drive them aggressive at all or does that also void their warranty too?
My salesperson was supposed to talk to them again about my issue and seems to agree with me as he has had vettes for 30+ years. I am trying to stay calm, but spending $40K + upgrades, just makes me a bit sick to think I might have a car that compared to a mustang, is a wussy car.
