Owner Review

The C7 Corvette is a masterpiece of engineering and design.

Owner Review

Side air skirt should be standard as wheels throw stones that pepper rear fender paint.

Engineers missed three important issues. First, they did not include the air skirts on the sides, thereby allowing the wheels to spray the rear fenders with stones, making for a sandblasting type experience. Second, they failed to recognize that many of us will use a radar detector. On previous models one could plug the detector into the back of the mirror, but now one can't. They should have made a set of small plugs to be able to plug in a pigtail to run a detector. Instead one has to have this ugly cord out in the cockpit. Lastly, the outside charging "system" is totally trashy. There are FAR more elegant ways to do this!

If you get a Z06 or any of the sticky tire options, you NEED to also have the side skirts or you will get stone chips on the rear fenders. If it's important to drive in cold, a Z06 may not be your best choice (although in truth my old C6 Corvette spun tires easily in the cold—but there were better tire choices). Sadly there is no provision for running a radar detector in a neat and unseen way (i.e., no pick-up points on the front of the rearview mirror). There is no option for serious high-speed headlights: the ones on the car do not cut it at 100 mph.

Exhaust too quiet even set to loudest. Would like a CD player.

Needs a heated steering wheel. Don't like having to lock it with the key fob.
