z06 driver

Was wondering how many have not had one problem with their car since purchase? All the horror stories I've heard seems like I might be the only one. 08 V.Y. z06 bought in oct. 2012 with 8500 miles, has 10,100 miles now. I think it being stock might have something to do with it. I know I don't drive it much but when I do, best driving car ever!

On my third Z, 5th vette in 10 years. no issues with the first one. Lost a clutch slave cylinder at the drag strip at 12,000 miles on the second one, the third one lost an engine at 42,000 miles (oil pump). In all three cars. they all ticked and I didn't care. I still have the third car with the new engine. it is the only LS7 I have had that doesn't tick. So, now I'm wondering what's wrong with it.

RFE-57

2007 bought new, 17,000 miles bone stock. Drive on sunny Sundays.....

* Defective differential, entire unit replaced.
* 4 roof replacements due to recalls.
* And a series of minor annoyances, multiple engine codes.
* Valves wiggle tested and in spec, no thanks or help from GM.

2008 Z06 bought with 8000 miles on it August 2013. Now has 12000 miles and no issues. But one heck of a lot of smiles.

Stock 06 Z with 19,400 miles. Purchased 3 1/2 years ago with 2,500 miles on it. Most reliable Corvette I've ever owned and I've had close to 30 over the last 43 years. Replaced the RF Tire pressure monitor, that's it

'07 bone stock Z, bought it with 300 miles on it in 2010. 18,000 on it now. Just replaced the stabilizer bar end links, that's it.

Flareside

9100 miles on my 2006, and never had a problem.

It did have the roof recall performed a few years back, but that's it.

2008 Z06, bought it last year as a certified preowned with 6600 miles, have driven it 3K miles without any drivetrain problems and I am happy.

Minor issues: dashboard buzz that is likely due to it coming from the factory without the 5th (middle) clip on the windshield cowl, a 2 dollar part that I've ordered; mild brake squeek that is common and has resolved or greatly improved after I did the "bedding" routine; cat converter caused a code to be thrown, I took to dealer and there's a TSB on it, they reprogrammed and all is fine.

Like everyone, I dream of performance mods like SC or cam, but frankly, I'm very happy with the way it drives stock, it's my daily driver and the limits of the car far surpass anything you could use on the street.

2008 bought new with 38,000 miles - no problems.

Bought my stock 2006 with 20K miles in Dec of 12. Now have 37K miles on it. It's my daily. Only mod is CAI.

Problems so far:
Little trouble with reverse sometimes. Prob syncro going out, but easily avoidable by putting in 3rd then reverse.
AC bearing starting going out. Replaced that through my 3rd party warranty - $1800
Driver side seat warmer doesn't work. Didn't work when I got it. Was no big deal as I live in Houston.
I do have the ticking as others have claimed. Never had the guides checked. Have hit redline + limiter many times. Still running strong. My B2B warranty is still good for another 3 years or 68,000 miles on my odometer.

2006 . just the roof recall 30,000 miles

I realize the first recall just called for more adhesive which didn't work and required a second recall to replace the roof so am just curious why you needed it done 2 more times. Did the dealer screw it up that many times?

May I ask why you replaced the end links?

2007 with 46,000 miles, original owner.

* oil pan gasket leaking and was replaced under warranty
* warranty also covered a new shifter due to the old one rattling sometimes

I plan to put 100,000 + miles on it before I sell it. The guys that are nearing 200,000 miles on these cars are my heroes.

2007 28k miles...Master Cylinder went out.
