    Michelin Pilot sport Cup tires on the Z06/Z07

    While all of what you say is true there is one thing about that machine which is GREAT! It doesn't take 10 F'ing days to mount 4 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup Run Flats!

    XM, OnStar, or Nav System?

    Why pay $23.00 a month for the same thing you get from a nav set and your cell phone which is already paid for?:rotfl:rotfl OnStar is just a bunch of BS. It doesn't work in my 2015 Z06 and the dealer can't get the parts to fix it BUT THEY STILL BILL ME!:mad:mad

    Warning! My 2015 Z06 has DEFECT in electronics DASHBOARD GM DOES NOT HAVE FIX

    You are not alone. I picked up my Z06 on 23 December. Nav is inoperative, Performance Data Recorder is inoperative, GPS has the infamous RED X through it and OnStar is stuck in the demo mode and keeps shutting off the HUD every time I exceed the speed limit on some road near Detroit Michigan...

    Michelin Pilot sport Cup tires on the Z06/Z07

    You're right, they aren't that uncommon. 3 BIG O tire stores in Phoenix have one and the rest of that chain has one on order to keep up with the new Michelins BUT here in the backwaters of Tucson, where they get all hot over a ford pickup, they still use those ancient machines that mount a bias...

    Michelin Pilot sport Cup tires on the Z06/Z07

    It's Back! 9 days to dismount wheels & Tires, powdercoat the wheels and re-mount everything. The corporate people and I still have issues but those are based on a parts order, not ineptitude. Given the trouble remounting those tires on the rims if you are tempted to do what I did make sure...

    Michelin Pilot sport Cup tires on the Z06/Z07

    This has been like a three Stooges movie. Funny, as long as it isn't happening to you then it's just endlessly frustrating. The machine necessary to mount these tires is a European machine. Makes sense but after spending all day on the phone there are exactly three in the entire state of...

    Michelin Pilot sport Cup tires on the Z06/Z07

    The case file with GM corporate customer service was opened yesterday and I have contacted the regional service manager. We have a meeting with the Dealer and his staff on Monday.

    Michelin Pilot sport Cup tires on the Z06/Z07

    Michelin says they need the 'correct' machine to mount those tires. What a help that was. Bowling Green is aware of the problem but, as yet, there is no solution so my Z06 is sitting on stands in the dealers shop without wheels and it has been that way since January 5th. Yes, it is the dumbest...

    Michelin Pilot sport Cup tires on the Z06/Z07

    When my Z06 was ordered I specified black rims to go with the velocity yellow paint. When I picked the car up it had painted silver wheels so the Dealer obligingly offered to send the wheels out and have them powdercoated black for me. That was on January 5. The tires came off the rims readily...

    Question: 2015 Corvette Z06 with RPOZ07

    Those brakes are GREAT on the street and, as for the ride, the car has different handling modes from track, sport, weather and Timid Old Fart so is the ride harsh? In Track it is, less so in sport and no one I know drives a Z06/Z07 in "Timid Old Fart". My Velocity Yellow Z06/z07 is a truly great...

    Question: Is anyone else having problems with OnStar?

    Just got off the GM tech line. My 2015 Z06 has an inoperative Navigation system, the Performance Data Recorder does not work, OnStar is stuck in the "demonstration" mode and keeps turning off the HUD. The dealer tells me it's a bad OnStar module and it is on back order with no delivery date...

    Question: 2015 zo6

    I had to wait a day for the local guys to mount the skirts and front splitter. The factory doesn't install them because too many got damaged in transit. Your dealer either received them with the car or will have the factory forward a set. Seems there are a few slipups at the factory. Mine came...

    Z06 #399 is alive and well, living in Tucson! What a ride!

    Important! Its official. 2015 Z06 will have 650 HP and 650 lb-ft torque!!!

    For all of you planning museum delivery while there is still snow, take a close look at these tires. I am not sure I would try driving any further than across the street in snow!

    It's Here! My 2015 Z06 is here! What a kick in the backside this thing is. Power to waste, 7 speed manual with the Z07 handling package. I just died and went to gearhead heaven.:happyanim:

    Foolish Child! There is no such thing as enough! My yellow 2008 Z51 coupe gets replaced with a yellow Z06 but I need MORE toys. Ever ridden in a 3300 pound truck that runs in the 10's? It sure will give the ricer racers a heart attack.

    There's only ONE color for a Z06: Velocity Yellow to match the C7R, black wheels, Kalahari Leather interior. :happyanim::happyanim::happyanim:
