How is the C7 treating you?
With some 6000 Stingrays out there now, how are the cars treating you on reliability, mileage, squeaks and rattles, overall satisfaction (especially the earliest builds). I know there were some issues with the display screens and torque tubes. Does anyone know if they incorporate running changes on the line as customer issues crop up?

So far so good on mine... no issues I'm aware of such as abnormal noise, cosmetic defects, or functional problems... knocking on wood of course. And #1463 here... it's close to 2 weeks old now under my ownership so still quite early in the game. :thumb:

Great Car
Took delivery Sept. 27th so definitely one of the early deliveries. So far no problems other than figuring out the driver displays and configurations. Great car love it. My car was in the first shipment that came to the Bay Area Ca. VIN #849. :headbang:

my baby went in to the shop today
finally dropped her off, hopefully she will be out soon.... Paint, screen issues, key fob didn't work and I think the car was in dealer mode or what ever they call it, was having a tough time starting almost like the battery was going dead... hopefully I will have her back soon, I miss her already ...

I have had RedHot for just under 2 weeks now and have about 2200 miles on her. The car has exceeded all of my expectations (and I set pretty high ones) including 27.5 mpg on the initial drive back from the Museum, consistently better than 30 mpg cruising at 70-80 with some runs up to 110 or so; outstanding fit and finish; extremely comfortable and tons of power, yet very drivable. An absolute home-run. :clap2::thumbup:

#3563 is doing great! Took a 650 mile trip this weekend. 27 MPG avg...many gawks, ooohs, wows, finger points, and :thumbsup: Took delivery 10/21/13...1800 miles.

3602....Mine is outstanding. Picked up on 10/22 and just passed 3200 miles. Not a hint of a rattle or major problem. Minor orange peel on sides. Sometimes my mylink gets confused and a menu does not fade away but it always when a few things are mulltitasking like a menu pulled up, the directions coming on, and the phone ringing...goes away with a restart. Other than that, quiet, solid and very comfortable in long distance running - more so that any other car in recent memory. Decided I like it quiet at all times, so I'd forego the NPP next time...Once I got the stereo dialed in, it's not too bad..90% of my mods are done:

Number 196 here, and all is golden! I have virtually no flaws in the paint, nary a squeak or rattle, fit & finish are spectacular! Took museum delivery on October 4 and have a little over 2300 miles on her. She's my daily driver, so I've experienced sun, rain and below freezing temps. The only "weak" point is the relative lack of tire grip when cold, but that is not a quality issue, just a running the wrong tires for the season issue. I've had as high as 32mpg on the highway, and lifetime average of 23mpg so far. This car is unbelievable! I've experienced no issues with torque tubes, no myLink screen failures. I dare say its the most perfect car I've ever bought. Great job, Bowling Green! :clap:

Vin 3139....no problems....I will say there are some minor flaws in the paint, but it's 2014 and a lot of stuff gets by to the "younger eyes' that wouldn't have twenty years ago- it's everywhere! I love the car- average 30.5 on freeway runs to Little Rock.......I love the car, and from the amount of people taking pictures of it and asking questions- so does everyone else!

Just took mine to the shop today #1506 with 356 miles picked up on 10-04-13. Refused to take it back where I bought it. Seems like the passenger window when down works fine. But when you put it up it takes all the inside weather stripping with it. They overnighted a part supposed to get the car back tomorrow. Other than that get lot's of Kudos wherever I go. This does not detract from the car one bit. It is just one of those things..................I hope!

my dealer is taking forever....fixed paint but its been sitting waiting for the"corvette" tech to go over the other issues..... Cant wait to get her back. Also I got a call about the oil possibly to low in the e diff..... Come on need my baby back by tomorrow, (only drive her on weekends) TRYING TO KEEP HAPPY, BUT I WISH I DIDNT BRING HER IN SO SOON. I think its the first c7 the techs have ever got to work on.:frusty:

feels like mine is pulling slightly to the right when I'm on the hwy and let the steering wheel go. anyone else have this issue. might just be the tires. only got 300 miles on it.

Whosurdaddy, I suspect it may actually be the roads you're on. Virtually every paved highway and street is designed with a slight drown in the center, to allow water to run off. Cars with wider tires, such as the Stingray, tend to drift to the downhill side of the crown more than cars with skinny tires. You may also notice a little back and forth darting on occassion, with is from said wide tires tracking in the ruts left in asphalt by heavy truck traffic. Mine has done this since day one, yet the alignment is dead on spec. If the pull is noticable whith your hands on the steering wheel, or if the wheel isn't quite level while driving straight, have your dealer check the alignment. That's what warrantees are good for! :)
