I'm new to the forum and am looking to purchase a fully loaded new Z06 but had a few questions after test driving one.
Are the seatbacks supposed to have ~35 degrees of play fore and aft? Very weird - its as if the seat back never locks back. It always can be moved forward at least 30 degrees.
The clutch was so SOFT. I have never felt such a soft clutch - and I have owned everything fom an old civic hatch in college to small, mid and large vehicles, all with manual transmissions. Including a C5 vette. Back in the late 90's. What's the deal on that clutch? Any reason why its so soft? or is it just me?
Does anyone else find that the brake and gas pedals are not in the best position in relation to each other? I'm finding that rev matching means slamming on the brakes as well. Great if I'm going all out - but not for just simple aggressive canyon driving. Are the pedals adjustable?
OK, based on my experience on the C5 vette, I have one concern. GM has a habit of producing great engines, but then poorly executes the production. This usually ends up with long blocks having large fluctuations in bolt tension, rotating balances not being properly balanced, and main bearings prematurely failing and seals leaking after 90K or so miles. Usually the rear seal is the first thing that gets noticed. Question: now that people have put some miles on their C6Z's, are people finding that these engines
generally hold up better than the previous generation?
How flexible is that rear fascia supposed to be? Not for nothing, it felt quite flimsy and looked like I could push in the fascia about an inch. Waxing that must be interesting.
How much heat do people generally find entering through the tunnel area and pedal box? During the summer months?
It was still a great joy to drive and I'm 99% sure I'm buying one. I've left the vette scene for 7 years and its time to get back in.
