Minor issues

[DEFENDRZL1]

Took delivery yesterday. Absolutely love the car and haven't even broken it in yet. Was a little anxious as I have driven vettes for over 20 years including a Zo6 I just sold to make room for car 36.

Have noticed a few minor issues and wanted to see what you guys think.


First I am hearing a ruffling sound-like paper flapping when driving over 50. It's coming from the driver side rear of the driver. My husband and son hear it too and none of us can figure out what it may be. Nothing visible is loose on the car or under it. ANY IDEAS???


Next the speaker cover on the door has a metal nameplate glued to the cover and it appears to have discoloration on it. Any ideas?


Finally I am thinking of adding stripes behind the doors on the ridges...... Has anyone added stripes or modified their cars yet and if so....what......


And yes I will let the dealer know this week when I get a chance.....but...you guys have been very knowledgable through this process and I thought I would try you all first.

That ruffling paper sound would likely be a Shelby trying to pass you........

Heat shield? I have a heat shield lose and the sound comes from the shifter area. Thing flaps in the wind! Driving me crazy

This has come up in the past, with a little paper tag on the drive shaft.

Quick question.....have you had enough seat time in her to know how it compares with your former Z06?

Look underneath and in the engine bay, there maybe a loose part label
flapping around.

Try checking the side skirt. I had the same noise and over the weekend found a couple of the connections were loose or had been popped out, probably in the loading/unloading from the train or truck. This morning that seemed to fix it. Good Luck.

So far all great Ideas to check.

I had some of the same issue and it was a tag causing it.
I pulled tags off the springs, Drive Shaft, rear difusser....etc...

Seat belt pops loose out of the magnetic seat belt holder thingy.
Sit at idle and turn on and off your high beams and tell me if you get an unusual noise.
Unusual gas consumption, drove the car for 4 days and the tank was empty, could there be a leak,,,,,,,,?

Yea, it's leaking out the exhaust. High fuel consumption due to break-in.

Or could be the fact that I liked to see how fast i could get to 4000rpm's and 80mph.

LOL... The high beam noise is te shutters opening in the HIDs, this is normal. The seat belt strap coming undone is normal as well.

Four days is rather good out of a tank of gasin a new car. When I get my SS I did than in a weekend.
