Why I HATE my C7 ZO6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never had any of these problems with my 2016 3LZ. Bought it new 9 years ago, and it is never had any issues. Wonderful car!

Very useful! I will not be buying a c7 z06 anymore because of this video I will instead buy a 2005 Honda civic

Man, I always hate to leave negative comments. But everything is wrong with this video, and could be avoided. Most of your complaints are literally self-inflicted. The rest could’ve been avoided with a test drive before you bought it. Sorry man… Not good.

[@jackdawson3983]

Seems like a 2LZ would have solved a lot of your issues.I have a 2LZ, and the stereo is AWESOME! And, my center console started doing the same thing. I had it replaced, and it has been perfect for 7 years now.

[@TheRdub82]

😂😂 right. It's linked half these gripes like the door pads, which can be replaced for cheap and a function of a dead battery🔋, theu haven't worn out on C6s either which are approaching 29 uears old. you can hook j hooks into the jack slots on the frame plus the cars come with a stud that screws into the front threaded frame for towing. the 1LZ don't come with memory seats, the shifter is good. Go with stock shifter if you don't want notice. The list goes on. I call BS on all his gripes. 😂😂

[@TheRdub82]

​@@ESFOREIGNAUTO😂😂

[@TheRdub82]

Facts 💯

[@ESFOREIGNAUTO]

@TheRdub82 c6 s are so problematic with them it’s not even funny , c6 common issues with battery drain issues , rattles like crazy , “no fob detected “, also for these hooks why aren’t they put on the car from the factory ? I stated my dislikes !!

[@dmcepeda]

The 17 year models and up did come with front cameras. I think the center console is worn out quicker with the manual transmission constant shifting. A higher trim level would help with the memory seats and Boise speakers

[@ESFOREIGNAUTO]

@@dmcepeda I do love the thing haha video was kinda a troll , it was actually hard to find 10 things believe it or not haha

[@aaronferguson9328]

looks as if you could only disconnect that line then youd have access to the plugs

[@DanielA23]

They should have put a battery door in the trunk for sure. You can do it without taking everything apart if you are careful. The 3LZ package has front cameras and they work very good. You can get to them in the menu or just hit reverse then drive and you get the front cameras with multiple views of the Lip.

[@Balticblue93]

Well, my 3LZ 8-speed Auto has it. Sounds like you picked the wrong package. Granted, I bought my slightly used and saved a fortune. Now with bolt-ons, pulleys, Meth injection, and tune on E85. It absolutely crushes now it has the 15" conversion and torque converter upgrade.

[@ESFOREIGNAUTO]

Also can you turn it on before pulling up to a parking spot also?

[@MrAleB305]

@@ESFOREIGNAUTO yes its just a button (well digital button) you press on the nav. The quality is a little better than the back up camera but nothing like the c8 quality which is very very good.

[@chrismcgrew5473]

My 2016 z06 had front cameras from the factory.

[@MrRaverion]

Interesting. I suspect the arm rest issue is having to lean on your elbow on the armrest. The battery issues sound like a heck of a lot of work to get access. I would connect cables to it and run it up out of the carpet and have it easily accessible to a portable high-capacity battery jumper. I own a C5 corvette and like the C7 but never really decided to buy one. I too worry about my front bumper and the easy fix to that is back it up to the curb. The rear end typically floats over the curb and the benefit is driving out is great because you can see driving forward when you leave than backing up and hoping you can see.

[@ESFOREIGNAUTO]

@@MrRaverion i loved the car alot it was just a pain in the ass when it came to something’s haha wasn’t a big deal but always a lil something about a car that can make ya say “ what the heck were they thinking “ I love the C5

1st world problems

[@donovanguerrero7489]

These TR 6060's and 6070's are built very borderline to the power these cars make when it comes to the synchros. These trans can take abuse and power/rpm up to a point, the synchros will get stiffer and notchier over time, and eventually itll be so stiff you're constantly grandma shifting especially at hi rpm. The best solution is get your trans built by RPM or Tick and your trans will shift butter smooth and with no notch (carbon synchros, bronze shift forks, etc). Also, stop no lift shifting, thats really hard on your synchros.

[@ESFOREIGNAUTO]

@@donovanguerrero7489 That car had a rpm level 6 trans , 1500 hp axles and tubular rear* A arms haha , I should’ve tried the tick shifter from the sounds of the advice I’ve received!!

[@teddydavid2816]

Is there a modification you can do to make the battery more accessible like create a flip up door or something that's ridiculous to have to go through all that to get to the battery!

[@ESFOREIGNAUTO]

@@teddydavid2816 yeah people are like quit bi***in and I’m sittin here like “why’s the battery take 15 mins to access!? “ 😂😂

[@dangorski2975]

i love the notchiness tbh. antivenom mod? ive also heard tick is the best. and t-mod is also really god. the notchniness is because youre mechanically connected to the trans. there is no garbage cables.. or rubber bushings.

[@ESFOREIGNAUTO]

@@dangorski2975 yeah I knew about that , interesting fact about tick …. Always thought the MGW was the leader in corvette shifters cause they have a patent on their shifters!

[@frederickschulze8014]

From what I've seen and tried, only the Honda Civic Type R and the Porsche GT products got shifters perfect. I think Corvette shifters tend to be overly notchy because while you are connected to the trans with hard linkages, it's an extender that goes to the back right? Think this might add some friction to the system, kinda like older Porsche 911s that also have a hard link going to the back.

[@ESFOREIGNAUTO]

@@frederickschulze8014 sorry was busy replying to my new homie above captain falcon, and yes its super super notchy on the corvette, my 997.1 turbo car was decent but it also had a 3k shifter setup hahaha
