Overpriced and inferior quality options make Corvette C7 Stingray a real bargain-the irony of "racing" stripes

As much as +Tadge Juechter  and +General Motors marketing department love to brag about the newest Corvette being the greatest bang for the buck in the high performance car world, the reality is far from this claim. 

In reality, the new Corvette failed to distance itself from the previous generations in the area Corvette has always fallen short: QUALITY.  In reality, the new Corvette is exactly as the previous generations, short on meaningful improvements and quality and long on unsubstantiated claims and slew of all sorts of problems related to finish, fit and mechanical and electronic reliability.

Here is another example of the same ole same ole lack of quality as usual and as expected: the so called RACING STRIPES. 

The previous generation of Corvette offered the same cheap POS vinyl junk as well, including the anniversary and carbon editions and they all had the same problem: cheap vinyl, peeling off almost at the moment it was installed.

Apparently nothing has changed at all.  These days, GM offers "dual racing stripes" in variety of colors and charging the Stingray buyers 950 bucks in the process, including the famous UAW sponsored factory installation. 

So here is what customers get for almost thousand dollars: another piece of overpriced junk with the only racing reference being one of stripes racing to peel themselves off the car.  Again, this is the same exact outcome that was all too often found on the previous generation of Corvette, thus, absolutely nothing improved here, in spite of increased price for the tacky vinyl sticker.
