I think white looks great. When shopping for mine I wanted white, but found a great deal on a black one. Black looks good as well, but would trade for white in a heartbeat.

I had the same question 18 months ago. I planned to drive the car a lot, and don’t have much spare time to track it, so the ZL1 made more sense. so that’s what I bought (A10). I absolutely love the...

I've never owned a Vette, but came close a few times. Love early C3s but not being able to see over the long hood bothered me. The C8 is the first one that I felt really comfortable driving.

I'd say they were looking to get 105 for the C8; 50 + my ca which they probably valued at about 55. Just guessing of course. He threw out 70 for my car simply to pique my interest, which it did. I've...

Was at a dealer for service and saw a used C8 on the floor. A salesperson asked me if I liked the car. Half jokingly I said, ya, I’ll trade my ZL1 for it. Was told they’d give me 70 for my car, and...

If one paid to have a dealer replace an oil pump preemptively (with OEM part), would the factory warranty still be good? And would a dealer even do this?

It doesn’t look like anyone’s posted a failure (in an LT4) since August. Could these oil pump failures be a low probability event after all, or is it that folks are keeping mum about it?

Wow. This happens back in June if I recall. Did it take all this time to resolve? Did the dealer just outright deny the claim? Did you try to elevate the issue? What was the final bill?
