Ghandy, thanks for your support!
 
You're right, there are specific lemon laws that do apply and I'm not taking no for an answer. Once again, the difference with GM and BMW comes down to integrity of the company!
 
Your point addresses one of the main issues that I do have! I will basically have a new car with the engine having been swapped thus substantially affecting the value of my car! Where is the fairness in this? Remember, the car left the factory with the cracked engine block and Chevy quality control has proved to be anything but! Their screw up! Fine, it happens, do the right thing! They refuse. Am I missing something?
 
P.S.
Yesterday I spoke with a customer relations manager from GM who told me that they would not be giving me a new car. I'm not giving up, so stay tuned.
 
So far, based on your feedback and that of other people on these board, Porsche, BMW and Honda have done the right thing in similar or LESS serious situations, but GM, knowing that they delivered a SUBSTANTIALLY defective car, have not!!!
 
INTEGRITY!!! A wonder why GM is having the problems that it is! Must love their new slogan - "AMERICAN REVOLUTION"! What a joke! I try to buy and support American products, but shouldn't this relationship be mutual?! I guess not in the eyes of GM!
 
Thanks. Alena

Regarding Lemon Laws, the dealer has something like three chances to get it right. After that, he's yours. However, there have been many other cases in automotive history where an engine had to be replaced - and the car wasn't. As long as you get a LS-7, I'd go with that and push for a transferrable extended warranty. When resale time comes up and you've got several years and thousands of miles on the car - assuming they're trouble free - it really shouldn't hurt the value. After all, the car wasn't wrecked or sustain any body damage . . . as my 06 Z51 did. A woman backed into it on Sunday at a convience store. But good luck no matter how it goes.

Your all-around opinions on the Corvette C6 by vicred_c6

I picked up my 2006 victory red C6 in Dec. and I've been very saticfied. To me , the new Vette is the perfect mixture of pure perfomance and practicality. I just read the "Urgent C6 Z06" post and was just wondering if any other C6 owners have had any concerns or problems I should be aware of. Thanks
 
On a personal note. Anyone concidering buying the new Porshe Caymen WITHOUT researching the Corvette needs thier head examined by a professional.

The problem I have with my 05 is I am not even close to being tired of driving it after 11 months of ownership. The weather gods even smiled in Oregon today and I got to go topless for the first time in 4 months.

That's not a problem at all. Its been beautiful in the Carolinas all winter until this weekend, but I've had the top off many times. I got both tops but I like the glass top best. I'm sure I'll feel the same as you in 11 months jmess about my Vette. Thanks and what color is your C6? I'm nosey.

I originally tried to order white/red but when the order fell through I got silver/black off another dealer's lot. I have both tops also but use the smoked glass/plastic top 90% of the time. My silver top sits in the bedroom. The wife has even gotten used to it being there. Using a black top bag with a corvette logo on the outside helped that process a lot though
 
BTW, post 676 above is my car.

I appreciate your response and I'm sorry to hear about your 06 Z51!

I apologize for not stepping in sooner. The lemon law issues and critiques of GM are dragging this discussion off-topic at this point.
 
Those who'd like to continue discussing GM's policies/practices, customer service, and warranty issues will find plenty of takers in the News & Views and Smart Shopper Forums.
 
Drive on over and see me!

Thanks jmess. I think your better off with the Silver. My father-in-law has a white C5 and CANNOT keep the dirt and exhaust residue off. But... he gets to wash it quite alot. Awesome car. My last BMW was Silver/black and its a good look. Other than victory red, the silver would be my next choice. It's sleeting in the Carolinas so no joy riding for me. Out!

Driving the paddle shifter, on track ... by starrow68

Got to do a couple sessions just under an hour on track in a C6 paddle shifter. For a stick jockey it was not real easy to get down the process but by the second 30 min session I had a couple of 4 to 2 down shifts that were smooth enough to enter a turn in point doing the 80's, brake hard and get the shift done and exit in the low 40's with that amazing 2nd gear pull in the C6. Not good rev matching compared to heel/toe but certainly track capable and lots of fun any place on public roads. I won't be getting rid of the C5 soon.
