The dealership had it on the lift this morning and confirmed that the spring had snapped right in the middle.

2011 GS Rear End Dropped - Tires Touch Wheel Well - WTF?

Over the past couple of days I noticed the back end was slightly lower. Today it got to the point I had it towed to the dealership. It was not leaning to one side like a spring broke, it was just...

The only place I've heard of someone having a problem is parking in the airport parking lots. It's a great source of revenue for them. I've been without a front plate for about 7 years now with no...

If you call them, they will give you a reduction on the spot from $299 to $249 for the year. They maybe would go lower. It seems like a waste to have it if your car is parked six months out of the...

Yeah, I'd do it. Cover the part they are sitting on to protect the paint and I'm good. It's your car, go with your gut feeling. If it's fun for you, have fun. If it's not, pass.

Indeed, and we should not let ugly old men who park them in front of their sub million dollar homes (like me) own them.

I agree because I just did it last week and didn't notice until I tried to start the car and just got the clicking noise - live and learn.

That's exactly what happened for me. I got more horespower than the '03 z06, a car that IMHO is one of the nicer looking corvettes and a lower pricepoint. I looked at the Z06 C6 for several years...
