Quality related problems persist on 2016 Corvette C7 Z06

No matter how much positive publicity +General Motors attempts to generate in a (futile) attempt to bypass performance failures of the newest Corvette flagship, the "certified (by +Tadge Juechter personally?) supercar", the reality always hits pretty hard, disagreeing fully with the corporate fairy tail.

If there is a distinction that should be given to the newest flagship, it is perhaps one of complete disgrace, with the most flawed and underperforming design since the mid 70's.  However, the quality problems apparently put up quite a fight, in the attempt to become the newest flagship's dubious trademark.

In addition to the usual supspects as sub par appliance style paint jobs, misaligned body panels, failing drivetrain components and Italian style temperamental electronics, there are some additional problems, so far flagship specific.

As shown in the photos, there seems to be a problem with the quality of the supposedly carbon fiber containing ground effects which apparently can come apart (literally) at the seams.

No matter, considering how counterproductive these "ground effects" really are, this may be a blessing in disguise, freeing the car from the unnecessary drag that somehow tends never to materialize into the Juechter certified downforce... Hmmm...



As an extra whammy, gheez GM, isn't there a better way to design those ground effects to at least make them look visually more gratifying?  Hiding the fasteners or at least recessing them is too hard to figure out?  And no, this ain't fooling anyone, cannot claim this is to accommodate the track serviceability of the certified supercar.  The C7 Z06 piece of shit cannot sustain any track duty, at least make it visually less offensive!!!

  1. Since when did carbon fiber split? Is the carbon fiber made by Michelin and it's not supposed to get cold or it will crack too? More GM Junk
