what's with that rattle in the drive train every time I pull away in 1st?
Ahh, the marbles in a tin can sound.

I hate the RATTLES! I should have paid attention during the test drive, because the thing sounded like an old piece of junk when driven off of the lot. GM should be able to make a car that doesn't have rattles that you can hear over the stereo when the car comes off of the assembly line. Of course my worst one is in the steering wheel so I can't find anyone brave enough to work on it because of the airbag.

Yes you can! They're just shy because they feel intimidated by the fancy sports car.

The awful interior. Poor panel fitment/build quality
****ty, inefficient brakes
Throw out bearing rattling everytime I shut the car off w/o pushin in the clutch. Constant, unfixable exhaust rattle (even after an X pipe and GHL catback install).... I could go on

Dust
Brake dust
Squeeks in the interior
Window rattles with the window half down
That every bird in my neighborhood thinks my car is a potty
The "Mid-life Crisis" crap

Lower your standards. That's what England Green and I did. Seems to work.

Does the Z06 tire kit use a liquid sealer that will ruin your pressure sensors. I almost bought one on E-Bay then changed my mind!

When I bought mine some of the Neighbors actually said the same thing. They thought Corvettes were only for Young Guys? Under 40.

Only thing that I actually hate is having to slow down so the front end doesn't bang on the ground ! My front rails are thrashed.
