Default Waited to see if any 2018 Z06 changes from 2017--there were none worth mentioning

I was waiting to see if the 2018 Z06 would have any changes from the 2017 Z06 . Since their was none worth mentioning I ordered a 2017 and saved a lot of dough. TPW 5/15/2017 status 3000.

Tom, is this a Massachusetts thread only! Got the A8 because I have done research and is not much of a problem with the Z06 cars as is with the Stingray A8'S. Yes I have joined the A8 club but I did wait to see if the A10 was going to be used in the 2018 Z06. Since it is not I am a A8 member by default. Cross my fingers that I get a good A8!

Maybe because in 2015 the A8 in the StingRay was 3.83 times the number of A8's in the Z06, and in 2016, the number of A8's in the StingRay was 2.1 times the number of A8's in the Z06.

That would definitely skew the results you would see on the forum.

joe yes I get your point but hopefully by the time mine is built in May most of the problems that were happening in 2015-2016 A8's will be fixed at the end of the 2017 production run. 2018 C7'S will be using the A8 and if it is not fixed in May I don't think it will be fixed in late June when the 2018 A8'S roll out of the factory. Like I said have my fingers crossed for a good A8 tranny....
