2007 Z51 3LT CORVETTE. MANUAL, HUD, NAV, TRANSPARENT ROOF 63.5K
Z51 3LT. Burgundy with Camel Leather interior.
I am the 2nd owner after a one year lease. I have had no mechanical issues with the car. It has been rock solid in
every way. The car has been and is amazing in my opinion. A total delight.
The Vette is respected. Always garaged or covered at my work. I do not drive in the rain, race, over-rev, stress or
abuse. I buy Lucas Oil gasoline additive by the gallon and I have added it into every tank 99.9% of the time. I
have performed two induction services, not because it needed it, but only because I am keeping the internal engine
pristine. Of course only Mobil 1 oil is used. I have rarely, maybe five times, used the air conditioner. It is ice
cold.
Washed weekly and detailed using only McGuire products and Aerospace 303. Waxed every quarter. I blow dry the car
after every hand wash. The paint has minimal swirls and is glossy. All crevices and the engine and interior are
wiped clean with a moist microfiber rag. The undercarriage and chassis is monitored at each wash and kept very
clean. The rubber is treated with silicon, the glass with alcohol. I weigh 160 lbs. The seats are firm and new
feeling. I do not smoke. I do not eat in the car. The upholstery is excellent and smells neutral or new.
The new Nitrogen filled Michelin Pilot Sport Run-Flat tires have 3K on them. The brakes are excellent. The engine
and drive train are excellent. The Battery is sealed top of the line. The rubber seals throughout the entire car
are soft and supple and excellent. The plastics are moist, shiny, preserved and protected because of the Aerospace
303. The Bose Premium Stereo is excellent. The Navigation with the stock disk and DVD player is excellent. Two
fobs, a car cover and cargo net are included.
Minor Blemishes include:
1. 1. On the hood there is a 2mm paint chip from a highway gravel which also made a similar 2mm nick on the
windshield.
2. 2. On the side top edge of the body, where the hatchback seam is located, there are some minor scratches to the
paint, as if the guy who leased it for a year let his golf bag drag across it as he was putting in into the luggage
hold.
3. 3. Car Fax Reports a minor incident that I was aware of when I purchased the car. I, myself, had it thoroughly
evaluated. I purchased the Vette, brought it home and had it fixed at my dealer. Damage Problem: The front nose
fiberglass was cracked. There was no other damage. The guy probably nosed to close to something. Solution: I had
the nose replaced at my dealer Michael Chevrolet of Fresno. I came by after work each day and witnessed each phase
of their replacement and paint matching. I requested no license plate holes.
3. 4. Corvette industries and all Dealerships will admit that the Transparent Roof will develop some micro fine
hairline striations over time. These micro fine hairline striations are unavoidable and almost undetectable. They
are inherent in the plastic.
These blemishes were there the day I purchased the car and were too minor for me to consider with such a beautiful
Vette as it is.
There are many specifications as you know, especially with the 3LT. And then there is the Z51 package to consider.
Please read up and ask if you need further clarification.
Just so you know: Dual 8 way power – heated seats, driver into/exit memory. Auto dimming rearview with compass.
Dual lighted vanity. Steering is telescopic/tilt. Navigation has a voice option. XM capable with hidden antennae in
driver side mirror. HUD and Digital displays for all fluids, gases, and G rated turns. Security Alarm.
Personal Notes: This is my second Vette. I have preserved this car since day one. The color combination is pure
class. The lines and symmetry of the body are beautiful. The engineering is exhilarating EVERY time you drive it.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.

How long will the 'golden age' of performance last?

Sat, Mar 26 2016

High-powered sports and luxury cars were everywhere at the New York Auto Show, prompting the obvious question for enthusiasts: How long will this golden age of performance last? Industry leaders have some time before regulations elevate the Corporate Average Fuel Economy level in 2025. Even then, they expect cars rippling with power to survive in some form. "Is it the end of an era," I don't think so," said Ola Kallenius, Daimler AG board member for Mercedes-Benz cars marketing and sales. "That performance element of individual mobility I don't think will ever go away." Kallenius, who oversaw the company's AMG division from 2010-2013, expects it to continue to grow. Last year, AMG sold a record 68,875 units around the world, an increase of 44.6 percent over 2014, with strong growth in the US, China, and Germany. Still, there's always the potential for gas to spike, and pending fuel economy regulations are looming. That could lead AMG to add electrification to its products, Kallenius said, pointing to the electric SLS as a test case. Chevy is also thinking ahead, said Al Oppenheiser, chief engineer of the Camaro. He wouldn't bite when asked about electrification for the Camaro (he did say "never say never"), but admitted in 2025 "it's going to be pretty tough to sell V8s." For now, things are rosy for muscle cars, and Chevy confidently showcased the 640-hp Camaro ZL1 in coupe and convertible form in New York. "I think that this is truly the golden age of performance," Oppenheiser said. It's hard to disagree. News & Analysis News: The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF was a show-stopper in New York. Analysis: There was a palpable energy when this RF — for Retractable Fastback — was revealed the night before the show at a trendy off-site venue near the Hudson River. Even as a parade of SUVs and flashy luxury cars rolled out the rest of the week, the Miata remained a hot topic. The Retractable Fastback is really a clever targa top, with part of the roof stowing behind the seats, adding about 100 pounds compared to the standard convertible. It makes the car more practical and arguably more attractive. The RF continues Mazda's tradition of selling the Miata with a hardtop variant. The first and second generations offered a detachable one, and a power retractable hardtop (a $1,700 option) was available on third-gen models. Judging by its reception in New York, the RF could prove to be even more popular than its predecessors.
