Lolz at people who think you can Time the build/delivery of a ZL1 1LE. It doesn’t work like that ladies.

Also lolz at comparing a GT3 cup car to a Camaro. You can buy 3 ZL1 1LEs for the price of a new cup car, and have all 3 meticulously treated for any salt exposure along with thorough professional paint correction.

Mine came perfect. No chips. No issues. I agree that you should not accept a car that has problems, but I am not sure that the logic works... this car had a problem, so damn the whole brand. I suspect millions of cars are shipped by car carrier.

I wonder why GM doesn't just spend a couple bucks and wrap the cars? I always see Audi's on the hauler and the whole car is covered.

Just this week I saw two haulers back to back loaded with ZL1-1LE's driving down I-35 in OKC. None were wrapped and they were getting rained on. My understanding is they also set outside in the elements at the factory waiting on shipping. I've seen a dealer take a Corvette delivery from a covered hauler and the car was fully wrapped. GM might want to rethink this as it is beginning to cost them business.

Funny you say that cause I ordered an RS3 and people over there were complaining about paint damage due to the wrapping. Apparently it whips the car over long periods of time and eventually damages it. Sounds like its common to need touch up paint upon delivery.

Kinda seems silly to me.
You wanted the 1LE becuase you know its a better car. Now you are going to pout over a car you never had and get the Porch.

I don't usually post when it is generally a matter of opinion, but I feel that I should on this one. I have had a few cars in my time and I have lived exclusively on the west coast where we don't usually deal with corrosion issues like say the east coast. So, when I purchased my SS 1LE in February of 2017, it didn't even cross my mind to look at the undercarriage for any type of corrosion or rust, BIG mistake on my part. My car has the dreaded aluminum corrosion and fairly significant surface rust on the ferrous metal parts of the undercarriage, suspension, rear differential, exhaust, etc. I wasn't very impressed by this, as I had not experienced this with any of the other new cars that I have purchased, which include Corvette's, GMC trucks, Acura, Audi, Ford, Honda, Lexus, Subaru, Toyota and various other marques. Silly me decides to contact GM about this issue, I was certain that they would take my concerns seriously and work with me as a valued return customer, right? WRONG! They basically called me stupid, and said that there was NO WAY that the car had any of the issues that I had mentioned. They shuffled me around and had me waste my time, and in very short order, closed the case, as there was not an issue as far as they were concerned. I learned a few valuable lessons - 1. It's a Chevy, I guess that they don't care about their reputation and are fine with negating their customers concerns. 2. I quickly decided that I will not let a car, especially a Chevy (as it certainly appears that Chevrolet does not care) let me get bummed out, so I decided to enjoy the car, because after all, it is a great car and a blast to drive. As I said before, I generally don't post anything about how I feel, too many opinions are given that no one really cares about, but since I lived this, I felt that it was appropriate for me to join in on the conversation.

Look at my signature, ordered in May, built in Jan. Still sitting in Lansing. In mostly sub freezing temps and snow. Sitting loaded on DOT R compound tires.
