A terrific car, but not perfect: UPDATE 7

2016 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51 2dr Coupe w/2LT (6.2L 8cyl 7M)

Now 25,500 miles into a Z51 in Long Beach Red: Still a tremendous value and sports car; a view from someone who long ago raced cars on the amateur level. It's not so much that acceleration, handling, braking, and feel are superb; it's that you feel attached to the car. The styling remains beautiful. The interior is very comfortable. Apple CarPlay works better with iOS 13.4.1: (1) Apple Maps has great UI but mediocre directions — at least Google Maps is now supported; (2) Apple Music plays better. In addition to the electronics, the other problem has been the shifting, which professional journalists complained about and I found true also. Over time, shifting has become much more fluid, although there is still an occasional glitch in the high gears. You can pack quite a lot under the hatch -- at least four suitcases. And, oh, if your state requires a front license plate, my experience has been this: The Chevrolet-supplied holder, even when mounted by a qualified Chevrolet technician, will scratch the front bumper and no Chevrolet dealer, out of the three that I have tried, will take responsibility for the problem. I now have removed the holder and will pay $900 to have the bumper repaired. This car now remains the last, great, American-made, front engine, rear drive, V-8. Hope my kids appreciate it years from now.

Most Bang For The Money Period

First I have owned a few Vette’s, a Porsche and various other automobile’s. I’ve been in the auto business with over 10 years experience and driven everything you can imagine. The C7 Z06 for the money cannot be beat. The car is amazing inside and out with timeless style/lines. It’s got power to throw the car around yet has the ability to be tame. It handles well, looks amazing and just screams American Muscle.

It's another "WARBLER"

Many owners of 2016 Chevrolet Corvettes (some 2015's) are reporting on various internet sites IE: Corvette Forum. Stingray Forum, that their new Corvettes, primarily base models with automatic transmissions produce a 'WARBLE' type noise at exactly 1500 RPM under light throttle load , as when going up a slight grade. I am one of said owners. Go to these internet sites and look up 'WARBLE' and even view the video / audio of the issue / complaint. Currently I understand that owners are invoking the lemon law process; GM 'supposedly' has taken back vehicle (s). Basically there is no proven correction at this time. I too have contacted GM and like many others, I was given a "case number". It's been awhile; GM has been involved deeply; taken cars back in exchange...under pretense of studying them. However; GM IS REMAINING VERY QUIET about this serious issue. WHY ? Dealing with this corporation; their possibly covert approach to this serious matter will make GM owners uncomfortable...if they care to listen. Meanwhile, my C7 Stingray, auto has had the differential changed; a improvement is noted but the "WARBLE" goes on.................. and on.....................!

16 Sting in Laguna Blue!

Purchased the 16 Sting Ray Sept 1, 2016 with 3000 miles. At 5,000 miles, thought there was something wrong with the tires. Since the tires are "summer" did not pay much attention to the matter in the winter months. Spring comes..still the same...had the co-owner of the dealership drive the car. He said it was the transmission (problem 4th & 5th gear-automatic). Mechanic installed a new torque converter. When replacing the converter, he told me the car had a fuel leak. As far as I can tell, the transmission is operating correctly after the repair ($2500..thanks, under warranty). The car has ample power and gas mileage is very good. Visibility on the side is very poor. Lots of compliments , especially on the color. I do like the car...power, styling, gas mileage but wish Corvette offered blind spot monitoring and cross traffic alert. Don't think I would purchase another Vet unless the safety features are installed.

1. there is a $1,300 gas guzzler tax for the 8 sp automatic. 2.Fuel mileage for the 8sp auto is down right awful. The manual has no tax and mileage is way up compared to the automatic. 3. If you did not purchase the aero package then you are going to have road rash on the leading front edges of the rear fenders very expensive to repair. 2. Watch tire wear closely, tires have only 7/32 tread brand new and any alignment issues will present themselves within the first 2 or 3 thousand miles. In ref to my first review, at this point in time the least expensive way to go is with after market skirts. Bear in mind, this fix only applies to 2015 and 2016 Zo6's. The GOOD NEW's is the 2017 Zo6's and GrandSports all come with the side skirts. Still the best bang for the buck. Fuel mileage has picked up a tick to 22mpg. Better but with the cylinder deactivation feature I still think it should be more. Even with the sideskirts GM still has not addressed proper paint protection for the rear fenders of the GrandSport or Zo6
