How are your Zs holding up ? Any problems with fit and finish on interior exterior? Any GREMLINS? NOT A BURN JUST A CONCERN THIS IS MY FIRST CORVETTE

Haven't had any problems with either Zs. My key fobs quit working once, but they are OK now.
I have no idea what was up with that.

MINE SUFFERS FROM THE SAME OLD CORVETTE PROBLEM.
AIR LEAKS AROUND THE WINDOWS-NEW WEATHER STRIPING,TIP IN WINDOW ADJUSTMENT AND HEIGHT ETC,KINDA OF A FIX-SO NEXT CURE IS THE NEW TSB ON THE AGE OLD PROBLEM.BIGGEST PROBLEM IS AT SPEED--WINDOW IS SUCKED OUT AT REAR EDGE.MY EXTERIOR PAINT CONDITION SHOULD HAVE NEVER LEFT THE FACTORY.

Nib:

Other than a slight hood latch problem (fixed), I have no complaints. The car is tighter than a prom queen's .....well you know what I mean. At speeds above 130 it does get a little noisy, but that's what the speed compensated volumn control is for.

NIB,

I'm still looking for problems and can't find any. Fit and finish is a touch below perfect. Solid, no rattles. Hasn't burned any oil yet.

a very satiified owner!

Driver seat rocks. No squeeks that I can think of.Console lid is hard to open, but I think that is common. I have lubed it but still when I open or close it I feel like its going to break.

A rattle in the exhaust at idle, and some oil consumption. Waiting for better weather to take it in.

If the radio equilizer is set to the rock seting I get vibration from passenger side speaker. That's it except I still need to fix sticking brake. Ric

Have three interior noise areas that I am working on. Got one fixed near the passenger windshield pillar/dash transition...rubbing together and squeaking. Another in drivers side dash...some vibration of something? Another in passenger side door area at rear of seat? Other than that, very solid over bumps.

Had a wobble in harmonic balancer/belt pulley. Dealer fixed. Fairly big job, the steering gear has to be removed to do the job. Check yours with engine running, look from passenger side. Have one little squeak in rear panel on drivers side. Will fix myself. Not worth waiting at the dealer for this.

No runs, no drips, no errors!

And no squeaks.

Bobszo6 -

I have had the same rattle that you talk about, the noise has only come up once and a while, and therefore is hard to troubleshoot.
