Alright this got me, I guess I'm a bit of an expected personality over there.
Don't fear though I'm already thinking about it and you can expect to see something this Saturday or Sunday depending on how much I have to drink after I return home from picking it up.
The BW will be a trade, I do save on the taxes with trade ins.
I'm now trying to rope in a friend to drive one of of the cars to the dealer 3 hours away this weekend.
There was no markup on the Z06, I bought it for MSRP.
Well I didn't plan for this to happen but I started my week like any other week, browsing the internet and not being productive.
I jumped on the Corvetteforums because nobody here was causing trouble on Vnet (I own a C7 Z06) and low and behold a dealer had posted that they had a brand new 2023...
Is it actually fully engaged in first? My Corvette's TR6070 on cold days will often not fully go into first gear with normal effort (it did it this morning actually) and when you start to get going the shifter pops back out.
I sometimes have to use a bit more force to get it into first...
I don't believe the Germans SAE rate their engines. With SAE you know what you're getting, with the Germans you basically assume the stated horsepower is actually WHP or is guaranteed if you drove the car on Mount Everest or on the moon based on history.
I haven't driven it in a few weeks, the weathers been so nice I''ve been driving topless in my Z06. However this weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving and I'm heading out on a trip tomorrow until Monday to see family so I brought it out for a wash to prepare it.
Clutch and shifter are both great in both cars, both have great feel. Hard to say which is better, they both are the best manuals I've ever driven in terms of feel. I liked the 911 brake feel a bit more as well as the steering.
I've gone through 13 cars in 3 years. All my friends make jokes I won't keep the next vehicle for very long. I've had 3 cars I've only owned for a month each within that time.
My C7 Z06 has been in my possession for almost 5 years, the next closest car was 21 months.
I told everyone I would...
Bit of an old thread but I wanted to chime back in.
I test drove a '22 992 4 GTS manual the other day and just as you described I had the same thing. You have to feather the clutch on upshifts or apply a little bit of throttle to make a smooth upshift. If you don't the car will jerk if you...
Good old Torch Red, when the sun hits it just right it can look Orange.
My Z06 is in the same colour and its definitely a unique red compared to other manufacturers even though its been out for so long.
Nice to see it on other cars besides Corvette's.
They need to have sold one before. Selling a car guarantees they will be given another. If they have never received allocation for a Blackwing its possible they don't meet GMs requirements to get one, which means you won't get a vehicle.
You can easily ask them if they have sold one before so...
