What's up guys...
I got a very early allocation from a Rochester, NY dealership for a nicely spec'd C8 in shadow gray metallic with the Z51 package. The car was supposed to be built April 23rd, but GM was thankfully building ventilators instead. Anyway, I'm now leaning towards another car and before I give the allocation back to the dealership, I thought I'd see if anyone here wants it. I don't have a new build date, but I'm told it will be one of the first to roll out once things are back up to speed. Apologies if this isn't a "garage" post. Seemed too OT to put it in the 914 classifieds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) PM me if interested. |

GM are being very exclusive about these cars,check out the guy on youtube that is repairing a crashed near new one.....GM refuses to supply him the front chassis legs he needs to replace,other parts he has found used.
IMO the best yet ,they look more European than American,whats the RRP in the US ?,expect there will be speculators buying them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . |

I can understand why they wont supply him with those parts. Chances are that they are made from high strength steel that needs very specific welding parameters to retain the material properties. If that guy isnt a licensed repair shop and has access to the actual repair instructions then the integrity of that car is compromised and GM doesnt want it back on the road. Safety regulations is making the cars much more complicated and harder to repair, its not like our old cars where any piece of steel of equal thickness will do. |
