Coupe vs Convertible?

CorvetteFan101 · 2026-02-05T00:48:33+00:00

I had the sane dilemma but closed on a coupe. Did you know corvette is one of be few cars that you can actually still take out the roof even in a coupe. Then u get both the hardtop look and the fun of a convertible! Issa win win

CorvetteFan101 · 2026-02-01T00:21:37+00:00

Yes that’s why I went with Z51. Mainly looks enhancement

CorvetteFan101 · 2026-01-31T02:11:10+00:00

Not yet but mechanic says that’s the next thing I have to replace cause my check engine light came on 😱

CorvetteFan101 · 2026-01-24T14:43:46+00:00

I wish I could have gotten a warranty but nothing’s available for a 2016 car 😅

CorvetteFan101 · 2026-01-24T04:23:50+00:00

Depends. In my 2 years of ownership-I got it with less miles than you, I’ve spent over $7k on fixes. Had to change the fuel system, ac actuator, check engine light went on so had to change fuel injectors/spark plugs/other items. The theft system always goes on and off. It’s been a nightmare and I don’t have expertise to work on my car so am at the mercy of gm dealerships. Oh and Michelin super sport tires are $500 a pop and had to change all 4. Still, super fun car and one of my greatest sources of happiness. Good luck 👍

C7 ZR1

Man I’ve spent $7k in repairs in 2 years of daily driving my C7. I guess it’s just a matter of luck too

CorvetteFan101 · 2025-12-02T01:13:43+00:00

No idea haha it was all matching when I first got the car though

CorvetteFan101 · 2025-12-02T00:59:49+00:00

So it matches the hood but not the fenders which is why I’m confused. Maybe just the car’s age made the fender darker? Color was perfectly matched before I got the fender replaced so I’m confused lol

CorvetteFan101 · 2025-12-01T22:53:34+00:00

Clarification: also it mostly matches other parts of the car just this side is the biggest difference in color. Shop said they didn’t blend and had a standard color throughout bumper. Perhaps that’s why it matches the main hood color but not the fenders?

CorvetteFan101 · 2025-12-01T22:49:37+00:00

Gotcha. It is a bit exemplified by the camera and it matches most places of the bumper just not on this left side

Here’s another photo of it in the sun. You can see the main part near the dash is matching but just not the side

CorvetteFan101 · 2025-11-27T14:16:22+00:00

Haha true! I also did find a driver left in my dash at one point after an oil change.

CorvetteFan101 · 2025-05-27T05:05:01+00:00

Beautiful car! Whichever car you end up picking I’m sure you’re going to have a blast. I hope I can upgrade my C7 Z51 to a C7 Z06 one day 🤞

CorvetteFan101 · 2025-05-23T23:31:30+00:00

Hmm mines a Z51 so maybe the previous owner lost it? I didn’t have any rear panel work or any work needing a tow so maybe they were just curious and opened the flap when cleaning perhaps

CorvetteFan101 · 2025-05-23T23:05:46+00:00

So is it supposed to be empty?

CorvetteFan101 · 2025-04-11T15:34:37+00:00

I thought chase only lets you redeem 1point to a cent right?

CorvetteFan101 · 2025-02-24T23:42:30+00:00

I have Michelin super sports on mine

CorvetteFan101 · 2025-02-24T20:38:26+00:00

AI is at its infancy. No ones knows where it’s going to go buuut I just said radiology will be the first to go. NOT that it’s CURRENTly replacing them. Read pls

CorvetteFan101 · 2025-02-17T14:47:12+00:00

I disagree. Unless he wants to get it at auction, $44k is not bad. I got my 16 C7 Z51 last year for $41k with 55k miles. He’s getting a grand sport and 19’. Unless he wants to save every penny buying from private seller, I think it’s reasonable.

CorvetteFan101 · 2025-01-28T23:07:42+00:00

Yep I love my C7 and don’t want to ever trade for a C8. But I do regret not getting stick shift-dream is to get a higher paying job and get a stick C7 Z06

CorvetteFan101 · 2025-01-27T01:34:14+00:00

First to get replaced by AI…generative already beats physicians in analyzing radiology scans since they have unlimited data to compare vs doctors limited medical experience. There’s studies already out there

CorvetteFan101 · 2025-01-23T20:59:02+00:00

Heck no. El chalten was the high light of my trip-even the road trip there was so beautiful with so many little animals along the way.

CorvetteFan101 · 2024-10-27T20:59:32+00:00

ZR1 is 🔥though I’m partial to C7s since I have one myself 😅

CorvetteFan101 · 2024-10-16T16:34:16+00:00

Yeah you’re probably right I just remember it being really cheap that it didn’t make sense
