X2 … factory tires can also be a handful in the cold (below 40 or so).

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...

Trade for a C8

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?

Difficult to tell because the two car are so different. As far as general impressions go, PS4S seem quieter and a bit softer/more isolated from the road. The ride with the Continentals seems more...

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?
