The fundamental question, can anyone built a superior high performance car and implement new technologies using inferior materials and manufacturing? This is of course a rhetorical question and if a common sense should not suffice for someone to come to this conclusion, the newest Corvette is there to prove this point over and over and over again.
As a rule of thumb, if there is anything using any kind of fluid on the new Corvette, it will fail and fail very prematurely.
As it is, the hydraulic belt tensioners fail en masse, heater cores failed already on several occasions and now, there is a newest addition to the leaky Stingray team, the radiator.
The fashion in which the Stingray radiators fails, through pin hole size openings indicate a defect in the manufacturing process, most likely due to Chinese cutting corners as usual. The problem is this inferior part ends up in a high performance car, running hotter and at higher compression and fuel pressure. What will fail next? This is not a matter of if, more of WHEN variety.
Could the fact that the newest generation of Corvette carries considerably higher content of parts made in China and Mexico by +General Motors suppliers? No way, a pure coincidence (wink wink)
