Ooops! He has a C7 Z51. Thinking about this thread. I typed C8.

Gregg got a early C7. He's had some issues with it. He still has it. Last I heard. He's thinking on selling it since he retired.

New production car models usually would have a few of those lemons.

Too bad your friend got one of the rotten eggs. Not sure whats the lemon law in your state says. He should have requested for a buy back by the dealership and got another newer model GS 2017.

Same reason why GM invested a million dolllar new paint facility in Kentucky to address the paint issue.

I bought mine 2014 velocity yellow now its color changed to matte gray!!!
I thought it was those magic color change scheme by Corvette.

So your saying its the primer Im seeing? I knew it my vette Paint is made by Skittles!
