wow.... mine is an 08....


This is, i think, the third vette I've heard that has burnt down. Not saying its a "problem" with the z06 but I would sure like to know the outcome on what caused it.

Interesting, there are some people that complain about a strong resin smell in some 08's. Maybe this could be related? GM says the resin smell is... uh, "normal" really? normal?!

I'll see if I can get some updates for you guys because I'll be hanging out with the OP and owner of the z06 tomorrow. Last thing I knew was that they were still waiting for a GM rep to make a decision on what they were going to do.

Shucks ! Why does everybody want to dump on GM ? **** , its only been about a month . You know how slow a big outfit like General Motors is . They have to go up the chain of command & discuss the possible consequences with their liability lawyers .Believe it people , they are looking for an excuse to deny this claim . I wouldn't wait another day . Get represented right now. As soon as they become aware that your being represented the wheels will start to turn. That and only that will get them up off their *** .

Does anyone remember the lady who sued McDonalds because she spilled..... get this..... HOT COFFEE on herself?

Yeah.... but now for the details that hardly no one knows about that case. The woman barely got enough to cover her medical expenses.... the attorneys got most of that $3M.

Agreed. Just be glad you were NOT hurt and since you were not, be happy when GM comes though on the replacement Z06.... don't hold your breath for a ZR1... ain't gonna happen.

Guess we know why there's a pause on Corvette production. Gotta look into that whole fire issue.

Hope they take care of you.

Good Luck,
Josh

P.S. I hate scum who want to try to sue their way into wealth, because they are too sorry to work for it.

Once again you make yourself look like a tool.

To the OP, glad to hear GM made it right. [peanut gallery] I'd still sue them for eleventy bazillion dollars [/peanut gallery]
