C7 is the best looking gen. I love white cars and would only do a vette in white or yellow. I’m jealous of you OP.

Been waiting for C7 prices to drop myself. Manual trans and Z51 option are mandatory for me.

Quote HistoryQuoted: So I bought it; 2019 Z06. Pics in about 45 days when I get it. 2LZ automatic. The LT4 is a great engine and tons of performance. I’m glad you didn’t go basic bitch corvette. |

I do have some concerns as it has 50,000 miles on it and I bought it sight unseen though I had a non-car savvy female friend of mine take it for a test drive. I got it for an excellent price and saved $10k or more over similar vehicles with 20k miles and below. One owner, seems like 3x fender benders with it out of the shop quickly. What should I be looking for even though it is mine now?

Nothing. Go drive and enjoy. If you’re a more spirited driver check brake pads quarterly. Replacement pads aren’t expensive. Don’t go cheap on tires when it’s time to replace. My preference is Pirelli PZero. I have them on two cars now. Who’s name is on your engine plate? Your engine was hand assembled. The name is on the front of the engine on a small silver plate. Ok maybe one thing to look for… check the gap and tension on your supercharger bypass valve. Quite a few had excess gap from the factory assembly. It will lower your boost if it’s not set right. Simple adjustment check to ensure you’re getting full boost. |

I bought my 2nd C7, a 2017 3LZ Z06/Z07 with 6400 miles at the end of 2019. It now has 52000 miles and has had no issues. I have a GMPP extended warranty for another 6 months or 17K miles, haven't had to use it yet (It was a CPO car when I bought it). I drive the crap out of it pretty much all the time. I use my truck when I need to do truck things, otherwise drive the vette. Intake, throttle body, ported blower snout, x-pipe, mild tune. A little over 620 RWHP. Currently on Michelin AS4 ZP tires.
This is my 4th corvette; one C3, one C6, 2 C7. First C7 was a loaded 2LT Z51, the Z06 is a totally different animal. FWIW, about 20 years of vette ownership, still don't own any NB shoes or jorts. Sorry.  Attached File |
