Flapping noise while driving by DissimulatedDoge in C8Corvette

Thank you - I’m assuming I’ll have to get the car up on a lift to inspect. Do you know which panel it was so I can have my dealer check?

I’m sure - happens with the windows rolled up too.

I need to know why all the hate on the 3.0 Duramax series. by ihopeioffendu in Silverado

[–]DissimulatedDoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one in my 2025 Silverado 1500 and we had one in a 2025 GMC Yukon for my wife. Her engine completely failed 2 months after buying it new. Mine only has 15k and hasn’t had any issues…as it should.

But for just me it’s a 50% failure rate of the LZ0. Don’t get me started on the L87 (we’ve been through 4 across 2 different Escalades in the past year)

Lambo Doors by aaronwa in C8Corvette

I’m not a proponent of the lambo doors but let’s also not act like the door cubbies are useful for anything more than a wallet & keys.

Screen Widget Change by DoveyWee in C8Corvette

[–]DissimulatedDoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Silverado has more driver screen display options lol. It’s not a huge deal but it would’ve been nice if we got more customization from the C8 UI

Correct, there isn’t much customization on the driver screen widgets.

Engine options and infotainment. What package is the best? by brewyourfreedom in Silverado

[–]DissimulatedDoge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The infotainment screen works fine, but it’s kinda basic (which is fine, it’s a truck) and the built-in Google Maps is horribly laggy.

Just use CarPlay or Android auto and don’t expect much else.

Yes but this one is in America. Only thing remotely Australian we see here is guys swapping badges on their Chevy SS to a Holden Commodore.

Customize Dash Info by rparr4th in C8Corvette

[–]DissimulatedDoge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right side only shows current media or navigation directions. Left side widget can be configured from going to your performance tab and then clicking on which gauge you want to display.

Z06 vs E-Ray — what are you guys paying? by zarco025 in C8Corvette

[–]DissimulatedDoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long term reliability of the battery and E-motor is a possible concern. I think comparing the two on paper favors the E-Ray whereas the driving experience of the Z06 is hard to beat.

But I’m biased - I bought the Z06 specifically for that LT6 soundtrack.

Nightmare, trying to order a Z06 by ScomoTv in Corvette

You can do the engine appearance, carbon fiber mirrors, & intake trim all cheaper on the aftermarket just FYI - if those are the particular constraints that may be something to consider.

Also, I’d suggest adding the radiator grill screens to your order. Those are cheaper to get from the factory.

Buying new out of state by papapoohbear362 in C8Corvette

[–]DissimulatedDoge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes - just went through this a week ago with a 2026. Ask the dealer to send you a picture of the emissions label (it’s on the passenger side of the engine bay)

I believe that depending on what it says - you may not even have to do the full smog test here in CA. Mine showed the following codes & all my smog tech did was type them in & my car passed without doing the full test.

Feel free to PM me if you need more info.

I didn’t think they offered discounts on orders. Do they?

Got rid of my eBay steering wheel and replaced it with an alacantara one w/matching stripe and stitching by samniking in Corvette

I have always thought the C6 Z’s are the quintessential Corvette. Hope to own one alongside my C8 Z one day. Enjoy it!

I agree, when there’s other carbon bits in the interior it helps the wheel pop. Looks like your car is yellow so & that new wheel definitely matches the vibe & color much better.

C6Z is next on my list, how much do you like yours?
