You called it silex, went to take the car to my appointment today and it was (nearly) dead silent. Of course just two days ago it was making all kinds of noise on a beach road trip.
My service advisor was cool. He had me text him the video, then said any weekday you're out and it does it, just...
Just started on the second leg of a recent 1200 mile road trip. In the video it sounds more like creaking, but in person it's more of a distinct clicking.
I eliminated anything with the boot (or pedal movement), because you can keep your foot depressed on the brake pedal, activate the...
Different animals for sure. For one, all the Vettes were manual, I went with the Boosted automatic so the GF and I could split driving duties.
My favorite was my 2003 C5 Z06, bought new. I also enjoyed my 2nd FRC, which I put 100k on from '08-'16. My last 2000 FRC, purchased last year with only...
Just hit 2000 miles in my '24 EB, and can attest it's a pretty fast car for what it is. I've owned 20 Vettes and don't doubt this is a solid 13 second car.
It's our roadtrip car and both the GF and I have the tendency to beat on it if the highway is clear (she's seen 123 lol hide).
It has...
Agree on all points, trying to reach perfection was a hilarious exercise that reached the perfect level of compromise after 11 versions.
But it sucks we're in a position to even have to make that compromise. Here is V11 after I did the multiple adjustments available along with some creative...
The front after lowering the hood hinge. If you can stand the ledge from the other angle this adjustment will solve most of the issues from the frontal view.
My OCD locked in on my front gaps after seeing that video on how "easy" the fix is (it isn't). After settling for the 11th version, I learned what the main engineering problem is: the front bumper/hood cone.
Lowering the front hood hinge about 2mm solved 99% of that wacky front misalignment...
Your question was based on a false premise that there were "several recalls". Thus your narrative that followed the question based on a false premise is also misleading/false.
Social media (including forums) will always exaggerate the negative ownership experiences, as folks tend to be more vocal about complaints. You think the Stang is bad you should see the C8 pages. Here is one of the features I did last year, read some of these issues if you want to feel good...
Yep that's the one I noticed shortly after purchase. Amazingly it's not one of the multiple things that bothers me about my EB.
The transmission slamming the fillings out of my mouth is currently on the top of the list lol just once so far, 1200 miles.
Yes I noticed, just like I did with the '17 SS, and it didn't bother me until I saw a video of how to "fix" it, which led to a 3 week long journey of angst. lol
I was fairly impressed with the 10R80 in my '24 EB until yesterday, at about 1100 miles. Was in sport mode and driving through traffic around 25 mph, tapped the throttle to go and there was a brief hesitation/lag then while attempting to downshift it banged so hard it startled both of us lol...
