I dont want to start a pissing match or anything like that, but lets see what type of zl1 quality issues you guys are seeing. Its not like we dont pay enough for these cars.

I think this will be good to see whats going on out there if anything.

Let me start, my first zl1 had paint defects & panel alignment issues, my second one sounds like a diesel motor, sc replaced at 200 miles & a four wheel alignment needed to be done since the car pulled to the left.

No issues at all. Couldn't be happier with the car.

Slight SC rattle, some spilled fluid from assembly that was collecting dust under the front of the engine, inside panel by passenger left leg had to be tucked in properly. Slight, I mean very slight area on the back of the trunk where it looks like the paint was buffed a little. Other than that, car is perfect.

There's definitely some fitment issues with the body pannels on mine, and I had some problems with the interior door panels falling off. The car drives amazing though and the issues I had were fixed under warranty. I spent the money on this car for the bang for buck performance and it wins at that. However The Germans still win when it comes to quality of interiors and all that.

No offense, but I think it's hilarious that people call the SC rattle an "issue". But anyways, this has been my only issue so far:

Several issues with my 2103 vert AGM. Paint issues on passenger door. Front splitter had to be replaced because it had deep cuts in it. Missing drivers side air duct....no air coming out of drivers side vent. It's back in the shop now having the inner fenders painted. Inner fenders and hood hinges look white because the paint is so thin. The ECF hood insert had to be replaced due to defects. I had to have the paint professionally polished because of the excessive orange peel. It just seems like alot of issues for a 65,000 dollar car.

I've owned german cars and as a whole they are over rated except for the high end models as it relates to interior quality. Having said that I know GM as a whole have been improving and can compete with anyone when it comes to quality and design.

I think the next gen cars will be much improved as GM firmly puts its teams to work bringing a richer interior to the low production output cars like our Camaro and most recently in the C7 Corvette.

Show me another massed produced anything that escapes without a few of its products that somehow was shipped not being representative of the standard that they aspire to and normally achieve.
