The hidden costs of 2015 Corvette Z06 ownership

The newest Z06, apparently the ultimate in old guy crowd pleasers is aerodynamically inefficient and considerably higher than it should.  What are the ownership consequences?

1.  Bad fuel economy-no matter how many fuel saving nannies the tool in charge, +Tadge Juechter adds to this behemoth, the fact remains that heavy car requires more energy to get going than a lighter one.  In fact, relying on nannies to accomplish fuel efficiency is as stupid as it gets-the nannies add weight themselves and can be effective only under very specific conditions-unlike less weight and better aerodynamics.

2. More stress on the engine and drivetrain components such as clutch, differential, drive axles or the newest slush box - which means shorter lifespan for parts that could last longer otherwise.  Again, basic physics here, something Juechter has no clue about at all.

3. Shortened lifespan for the brake-and again, some breaking news here: it takes larger force to stop a heavier vehicle than a lighter one.  Now, more frequent replacement of pads and rotors and flushing brake fluid can be annoying but when the brake rotors are of ceramic variety, the cost can be and is quite outrageous.

4. Questionable resale value due to zero pedigree any Corvette carries and potential costs and risks a buyer of the used Z06 would be assuming.  This part is already well demonstrated with no resale value past generation Z06 carries (valve problems) and matching ZR1 resale beatings owners take when trying to sell or trade in their cars.

The conclusions: the newest Z06 buyers should plan their cars and coffee events less frequently than they would do with the base Stingray or previous generations (as long as a tow truck is reserved).
The other obvious conclusion is that Tadge Juechter is a self indoctrinated idiot, spending more time convincing himself than practicing sound engineering or even common sense.  The buyers soon to follow in his steps.
