2016 Corvette C7 Z06 owners continue to scrape the shit out of their front bumpers just like owners of all Corvettes before it

Without any doubt, the more things change, the more they stay the same and in case of +General Motors and its newest flagship, Corvette C7 Z06 that would be a gross understatement.  The word that comes to mind is STALE, like in mothballs, mold and cobwebs. 

Even though +Tadge Juechter can bullshit the Corvette enthusiasts all day long, insinuating greatness and a deal of century, the reality is very somber, clearly showing how obsolete and outdated Corvette has become in the 21st Century.  The same old shit, with the pushrod, a heat pump on top of it and of course, those "superior" composite LEAF SPRINGS. 

Never mind any handling aspects or racing and track limitations (like this would matter with this piece of shit that is more of a convection oven on four wheels than anything else), there is the matter of the driveability, a problem spreading across the entire line up of C7 since rice out flagship is nothing else than disguised base car anyway.

Since the newest flagship is supposedly a "certified supercar", it should include all ingredients actual supercars have and this includes the ability of the owner to prevent front end scrapes while negotiating basic driveways and entrances to cars and coffee events, as well as gas stations.

By widely agreed convention, a true supercar should be "slammed", sitting close to the ground because it not only looks cool but it also serves a very functional purpose, especially at high speeds, decreasing drag and increasing the downforce to assure high speed stability.

Although the aerodynamic aspects of the low stance mean exactly jack shit to the typical geriatric Corvette buying crowd, the visual (one hand) gratification means a lot and thus, as with the previous generations, the owners of C7, including Z06 proceed as step one of the ownership, to lower their cars since straight from the factory, all C7 cars have a stance of a 4X4 pick up truck, far from the stance expected from that "certified supercar".

Basic lowering procedures of any Corvettes since C4 are very easy, due to those leaf springs and the way they mount, amounting to rasing the car, crawling under it and turning the wrench until stock bolts max out.  The results vary, typically less than an inch, especially with those bullshit Z51 and Z07 handling/track (LMAO) options but there are ways to go further, until the point where tires manage to meet the wheel well liners or assorted aerodynamic aides under the car.

After the lowering event is completed, the car is lower than before but it is not only lower up top, it is also lower on the bottom and this is where the fun begins with the Corvette owning idiots.  Yes, these people are truly stupid but where would this blog be should they wise up?  To the credit of the Corvette numbnuts, Viper owning geniuses are not any better although ironically enough, they could solve their problem due to the more modern and accommodating suspension design but they do not since they are Viper owners apparently...

Nevertheless and never mind the alignment consequences, as mentioned long time ago in this blog and the reason (one of them anyway) why the author of this blog would never touch another piece of shit Corvette with leaf springs, those leaf springs are the sole reason why new Corvettes scrape as the old ones...  Had the newest Corvette generation finally lost those idiotic leaf springs, things would be different but due to excessive and constant nut hugging, things are now just like they were 30 years ago.

And here is the fun part, Corvette idiots trying to prevent scraping events, especially with cars clad with those uh oh carbon fiber ground effects.  Since they cannot raise their cars on the fly, the aftermarket has come in, just like with the previous generations to cash in on the problems facing Corvette owners, especially those slammed low to the ground.

The variety of the aides being sold to the Corvette is both very amusing and mind boggling, with regards to the variety of worthless shit these tools put on their cars.

So called curb alerts do very little for scraping protection as do the front mounted cameras (available on 2016 Corvettes), thus, the aftermarket offers a few other choices...

Here is a good one, looking like a set of WTF TRAINING WHEELS or maybe wheelies mounted on the wrong end of the car? 

Easy to see where the aftermarket got this idea and the thought of the senile flagship owners using training wheels is right down funny. 

The bottom line is this shit does not work due to the front end protrusion and front frame members not extending far enough, well beyond the effective range of these idiotic training wheels, especially with the expensive carbon fiber abortions mounted up front.

There is a variation to these training wheels, making Corvettes look like some kind of whacky sleds, where aftermarket decided to replace the Home Depot utility wheels with nothing less than sled rails, at least this is what they look like.  This shit works even less and when it does, the sound alone must be music to the ears of the senile owners (at least those that still have part of their hearing at least partially functional).

And here is one more and this one is beyond stupid but outstanding from the entertainment angle, giving it a spot on top of the Corvette owning special olympics.

How the fuck is this suppose to work exactly?  Those little furniture leg bumpers will do exactly what?  Keep the bottom of the front spoiler away from the concrete by providing a cushion while the spoiler flexes up?  When the spoiler flexes, the gelcoat will crack and the spoiler will look like shit, maybe even worse than without this shit on it.  The funny version is the one where these bumpers are not stuck on the spoiler or front bumper using double sided tape but actual screws.  When the piece flexes, these locations will be cracking first, LOL...

Since obviously the leaf springs will be staying on Corvette as long as it is around, here is a thought how to go about it...
