C8 ZO6 or new base model 911
Can you please give me the pros and cons of both?
45k mile service prices
Man sucks last year I had a email quote for around $900 for dual clutch trans filter change and the 45k fluid exchange and internal filter change
Now they updated price to 2k :(
Priced it around and that’s the best deal I can find
Many charging 2600 and include fuel injector cleaning service or something that isn’t on the manual to do at this is interval or ever really
But anyways painful- guess time to pay to play again just like the tires prices
Procharged Eray is potentially sold & GSX TPW is 08/24
Broken muffler
Heard squeaking noises every maybe minute or so when driving so I took my car in and they inspected it and said it was the valves in the muffler and replaced it for me. Anyone had this issue before, haven’t seen it listed once online. 2025 1lt 2000kms
Shipping a brand new c8 across the country
Hey everyone,
I’m in the market for a grand sport and was going to order one but I found basically the exact spec I was going to order at a dealer but unfortunately it’s almost 800 miles away and flying out there and driving it back isn’t really feasible. The dealer said they would pay a third party shipping company to ship it directly to my house. Has anyone had this done before? I’ll be honest, I’ve never bought a car without seeing it in person, especially not one that costs $115k.
So I guess the first thing is, what shipping company should I be working with? I think it needs to be enclosed. I’m sure the dealer has a cap on the shipping cost but I got one quote for enclosed shipping from montway for $1750 and they said they’d pay that. Is there a better company I should look into? Also anything I should be aware of when buying a car sight unseen from a dealer so far away?
I’ve spent a week searching chevy’s inventory and every dealer within a 350 mile radius and this is the only one close enough to the spec I want to be worth it
Edit: thanks for the help everyone, I found a dealer 500 miles closer with an in-transit grand sport with almost the same spec so I put a deposit down and will hopefully be able to pick it up in the next couple weeks
Why are my tires cool?
Under tire status, it says they are cool? What are the advantages of having cool tires? Its 70 degrees outside as well
Oil change
I hear the C8 oil change is relatively simple but I’m lazy and it’s hot out. Curious where you folks are taking your C8’s? Trying not to go back to the stealership.
Meguires ultimate
I think it goes pretty hard, I tried mother’s ceramic, some other stuff… but it’s pretty good if you don’t mind handbuffing
First service
I'm just about to pass the ballpark 3000 km break in period On my c8. I've heard differing opinions when it comes down to when to take it in for your first service. Some say 800 km some say stick to the regular warranty schedule. I plan on bringing it down to a beginners drag event in a few weeks. Would it be ideal to have my first service done before that?
C8 carbon wheel durability?
How have they held up with street driving and potholes? Anyone actually cracked or damaged one? Any issues getting a replacement?
Replacement cost isn’t my biggest concern, but having the car down for weeks waiting for a wheel definitely is. Curious about real-world experience.
2023 C8 Stingray – Service Brake Assist + Service ESC, noticeably reduced braking at only 5k miles. Anyone dealt with this?
2023 C8 Stingray, non-Z51, ~5k miles.
This morning I got “Service Brake Assist” and “Service ESC.” The braking was noticeably reduced too: hard braking felt much weaker than normal and the car took significantly longer to stop.
I restarted the car multiple times and both warnings keep coming back.
My bumper-to-bumper warranty expired last month.
Anyone had this exact combination on a C8? What ended up being the issue, and how much was the repair?
MacMulkin warranty question
I have a 24 stingray under 10k miles and reached out to MacMulkin for extended warranty info. The prices they came back to me with seem way too good to be true. Does anyone have any experience with their warranties and anything I should be aware of if I buy? I’m just double checking my bases because it seems way too cheap to be this good.
Is the experience different enough to upgrade from a C8 Z06 to a C8 ZR1?
Wondering how different the driving experience is when comparing the Z06 to a ZR1.
I’m not a track guy, just a normal driver who carves the occasional canyon and drives from the burbs to the city and loves his Z06.
Thanks for weighing in.
Almost made it a year daily
Hit some shredded tires on the expressway at about 80 mph 😛
Finished with the mods.
New to me 2024 with 3800 miles on it.
