Fourth Class Action Lawsuit Filed Over Corvette Z06s Going Into Limp Mode On Track

These are stupid lawsuits. What is the individual owner's damages? Damaged ego?
Just accept that Chebby didn't cool these things properly, buy the LG kit, and move on.

Scorched ego = how dare my depreciating pushrod God not do exactly what was advertised LOL. How did Chevy not see the issue before full production though.

Don't do drugs, kids.

Here's a fine specimen of automotive enthusiasts. Factory leaves so much on the table, brahs. MK7 R, Unitronic Stage 2 tune, fucking Unitronic leaves power on the table too they're morans, piggybacks a Hamburger JB4, fucks with the JB4 to provide MOAR BOOST. WHOOPS WENT TOO FAR. 12k miles on the car by the way.

Isn't something supposed to be in there?







shaft split in half and puked the turbine into the catalytic converter


So what does dudebrah do?
GOFUNDME! Get the internet to buy him a turbro.

pdate, I got the turbo out finally, the housing isn’t damaged and could be rebuilt according to Gpopshop. Attached are photos of turbo.

Also, here is my go fund me if you want to help out. This really could not happen at a worse time for me.

And somehow there is $60 in there. I think whoever actually donated is even worse.

Agreed with Max. Whoever "gave" him $60 is worse.

Two things after seeing this at the car show this week:

1.) These cars are JUUUGE. Like Escalade length from a quick glance

2.) Not in love with a motor that employs both a SC and a Turbro. Seems in that way

[goIftdibrad]

wow, vortex derps are still derpy.

[Tar]

Don't forget that short commutes accelerate carbon buildup. I had a 6 mile commute each way for 3 years and my Mk6 started misfiring at 50k.

Yup which is what has me

I’m gonna drive da bitch tonight since I’m going to get some groceries.

Gonna try to put about 10 miles on her today, all higher revs and whatnot.

I like the cheap lease thing... maybe just pay the 2k or whatever for overcharges and pick up a 200/mth lease (Jetta maybe or a deal from Chevy/Mazda/Hyundai)?

[ChrisoftheNorth]

And DFD is always wrong. Some things never change.

Totally fine. So you’re saying an extra 120 wheel hp out of an engine designed to produce 200. Is going to blow shit up ?!



23k gti + tune > better than a golf R duh everyone knows this. Buying an R is stupid

It's those damned moran OEM engineers. They couldn't engineer their way out of a paperbag. Stock HP is so weak.

That's a good looking car with some blue. It won't have the plush dash but the features match cars twice as pricey, why not derp around for virtually free.

The entire top end on the R is updated along with the turbo. It's to see what the OEM did for 70 horses. morans, they could've just taken some notes from the APR tuners and bumped up the boost.

Apr is an amazing company that reliably gets 50% hp over stock for only $599 they have found the holy grail the oems only dream of

[Tar]

Speaking of this superchared 6.2 LT4 (or whatever acronym Ellis has now), 640hp sedan and recarbro seats in matching leather. The want is strong and is the one car that stands out in my mind from the car show. Cadillac is doing it right IMO.

Jeep/Dodge, VW/Audi, Jag also have great designers. As per our resident numbers guy always says, "It's a great time to be a car guy".... with deep pockets doe.

Costco's auto program sold more than 520,000 cars in 2017. The budget retailer grew car sales by 6% in a year when the industry's sales slumped. Costco's biggest advantage over competitors is that it has fixed prices, meaning customers don't have to bargain when making their car purchase. Costco's car business is thriving thanks to a perk that sets it apart from the competition. On Tuesday, Costco announced that its auto program sold more than 520,000 vehicles in 2017.

Wow that's insane... Costco sold 1/2 million cars because ppl hate the that much.... at which point will that industry wake up and change the way they do business... i guess never... not until pods make em obsolete.

There are absolutely 0 reasons for Costco to be selling 1 vehicle.
