This blog pointed out many times the fraudelence of the claims made, with regards to the newest Corvette flagship, C7 Z06, specifically its alleged road course and track prowess. In fact, the newest flagship is supposed to be not just a track ready car but as a matter of fact, the MOST TRACK CAPABLE CORVETTE EVER!!!
Considering the hard facts behind the newest flagship, including its supercharged engine, obscene weight, mind boggling number of electronic nannies and worthless gadgets, shitty aerodynamics and absolute lack of track R&D, it should be not difficult to figure out that Juechter and GM are truly full of shit and look somewhere else for that whimsical "TRACK READY" car but... as usual, the Corvette sheep prefers kool aid to reality check and thus, the proverbial shit hits the fan at truly amazing rate.
Even though the telltales of the SUSTAINABLE performance matching the marketing specifications were already there since the inception of this latest flagship, apparently it was not enough for the gullible bow tie fanatics not to part with their money only to learn the hard way that marketing bullshit never lives up to the reality.
The problems with the newest Z06, specifically those related to engine and supercharger overheating and subsequent heat soak were present even during the coldest winter months, raising red flags all over the sales brochures and again, this blog continued to point them out but again... the ability to purchase the car and ability to think are mutually exclusive when Corvette buyers are involved.
Fast forward to today and current ambient temperatures, well above the bullshit 86F "design parameter" supposedly used by Juechter's team and the subsequent entertainment resulting from a few numbnuts who actually were dumb enough to ASSume the car they purchased is that most track capable Corvette ever.
The reality of the newest flagship is rather ugly, when track duties (anything beyond a single hero slow speed lap) are involved, the newest "flagship" is a true piece of shit and quintessential joke (with GM laughing all the way to the bank, of course), overheating at will and turning the dashboard into a Christmas tree look alike.
Interestingly enough, not just engine and supercharger overheat on this flagship piece of shit, both automatic and manual transmissions and of all things, the electric power steering. So what is there for the schmuck dumb enough to buy this piece of shit to do after his or hers precious ride takes a shit after a single lap and attempts to limp to the pit?
There are actually several very attractive alternatives for the buyers to salvage their money:
1. Limit use of the flagship to drag strip only (assuming the piece of shit does not overheat on the way to the drag strip).
2. Order a custom plaque that can be displayed at the next Cars and Coffee showing the advertised horsepower and Juechter's bullshit claims.
3. Trade in the piece of shit and order either Dodge Viper or the Mustant GT350R.
4. Get friendly with the local audio installer and attempt to compete in the next sound off competition (due to the shitty interior design this may be a tough one but nevertheless...)
5. Limit the actual track use to a single lap and only below 76F (this POS cannot handle that claimed 86F in the real life.
Open a trackside hot dog stand, and cook up some tasty dogs using the steam from the engine bay. Then, serve them with a smile to those Viper drivers who need to keep up their energy running circles around, and around, and around, your car. You could call them "Tadge's Big Weiner", or something catchy like "Vette Dogs".
