"Amazing performance for the price of a mini Mercedes"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The leather seats seem to be wearing prematurely. It has occasional electrical problems, gas gauge mainly.

General comments?

The car performs fabulously. The brakes, steering and handling are amazing, considering the cost. It remains fun, attractive and the focus of attention, yet it's parts are available from any Chevy dealer. The convertible top is cleverly designed and stows better than any I have seen. The car is four years old, yet has none of the rattles associated with convertibles. Chevy did a fine job.

I really, really like my Corvette. It puts a smile on my face every time I drive it! The high torque is the grin factor. You don't have to go fast to have fun. Just push the peddle and feel yourself mashed into the seat! My only nit-pics:

1. The 6 speed is very notchy. It takes more effort than a car like this should. I wonder if the Z06 is also plagued with notchy shifting?

2. I also think a true sports car convertible should have Roll-Bars!!!
