........2017 I bought a C5 nausea blue fix_top. 6 Speed with stainless steel headers and Flowmaster systems. It has a Vortec air induction system. And I will soon be taking to put it on the test stand to see exactly what it is putting out, others knowledgeable are guessing at 420 horse I'll wait and see. I bought the car in Columbia Tennessee from a Hyandai dealer, when I question about a slipping clutch they gave me their number one mechanic to test it out. Upon returning he claimed everything was okay that what I was feeling was a racing clutch. Owner of Hyundai and salesman convince me it was all okay, two and a half hours home it would barely make it slipping seriously bad, since I signed the as is clause I did not trust a Hyandai dealer to fix it!. So I took it to a supposedly reputable Corvette sale dealer in Chattanooga, they told me the clutch was gone so I told them to fix it. After calling the Hyandai dealer who sold it to me they I said bend over and take it. so $4,913 later I picked it up. After reviewing the paperwork $1,300 for parts and the rest for labor. I should have got mad and sold the darn Thang but owning Corvettes for most of my life I still have it ....
Ive always maintained the first thing you purchase after buying any corvette is the correct matching years,
shop manual, and if you are not willing to do the VAST MAJORITY of the work on the car yourself,
you damn well better have deep financial pockets,
and be a masochist, nympho ,
because your about to get screwed regularly.
owning the basic related tools to work on your corvette,
yourself and learning the skills required to do so,
or
a mind numbing willingness to finance, and write blank checks for all the local shop management and technician vacations,
for as long as you own the car, is nearly mandatory
if you paid $4913 for a clutch REPLACEMENT ON A CAR YOU JUST PURCHASED ... YOUR OBVIOUSLY NOT HURTING FINANCIALLY.
I KNOW VERY FEW PEOPLE THAT COULD DO THAT
