Excellent build quality on the Corvette
Not....
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1369957 Roof fell off at 60 mph on the new Z06. Remember, these cars came with a fixed roof, not a targa roof. Way to go GM.

Re: Excellent build quality on the Corvette
Its not just the Corvette. GM builds really shitty cars overall, I wont miss thier bull if and when they go out of business. Im gonna be laughing my pants off at the Bald Eagles who have made it a hard time to own an import. My GTO lost its windshield weather stripping at 50 mph two days after I bought it. I had to buy adhessive and glue that shit myself. Then I did my first oil change and the powersteering hose was leaking beacuse they didnt tighten one of the hosses....it probably still is. the shock pan was full of rust cause its made of cast instead of stainless and the bumer underneath has no brace bracket, one small piece of road debriss and my bumper is gonna fly off. Oh and after only 600 miles my ABS mallfunctioned on me.
My 3000GT had over 150,000 mile and 12 years old.......never had a single problem!

I'm guessing the 400hp had something to do with it

Re: Excellent build quality on the Corvette
Yes because there aren't millions of fucking families that actually depend on GM for a living, fucking assholes, your opinions would be better spent on a letter to GM maybe telling them how they can improve instead of sitting back hiding and talking shit.

Re: Excellent build quality on the Corvette
It was prolly faulty glue, in the end GM's fault.

Re: Excellent build quality on the Corvette
well actually, im sure every manufacturer has instances where things like this happen. its a fluke thing. i dont think it necessarily means the car is shit. also it is probably wrong to generalize and say that all american cars have crappy build quality because one thing happened on a vette. fluke things happen; for example, on the ford gt some dickweed at SVT sanded the crank shaft wrong on some engines. so on some of the cars ford had to fix it. thats not the companies fault, its just some morons fault.

Re: Excellent build quality on the Corvette
Considering there is apperently a TSB about it...I don't think its 'just a fluke thing'. I dunno, even if it is, if I paid 70k for a car, I would get rather miffed at the fact the roof fucking fell off.
