    My Dad's $65,000.00 Denali needs new injectors with 21k miles and the dealer told him to drive it with the CEL on because with the strike they have no idea when they can get the injectors. He ask if it will hurt the engine and the dealer told him they don;t know but it is under warranty anyway so just to use it because they don't know when they can help him. He was a little pissed. LOL...

    Sorry I hurt your feelings and caused you to lash out. It’s not your fault.

    My feeling are in tact, I am not lashing out at you but it is obvious why you are here. I mean look at your avatar. And that is fine, it is good entertainment.

    JJ, the only thing that is obvious is that you are acting like a BB.

    if you wanna continue intelligent discussion, I’m all for it. If you just want to insult, because you don’t agree, this convo is done.

    That’s a helluva opinion!

    I am willing to put money that you won’t find a better performing, better looking mid engine car (per money spent).

    My mortgage is paid off in about 5 years - that gives GM 2-3 years to work out the bugs, and then I can pick up a 2-3 year old lease return. Or a C7 for a song if the C8 meets / beats expectations.

    Decisions, decisions... :)

    I believe I am the only one presenting intelligent information in our banter. Also I do not believe I am "insulting" you when I am simply pointing out the way you have represented yourself in the less than five days you have been a member of this forum. You are correct in that this conversation is done as all you are here to do is stir up shit.

    I have a dog in this fight as a Corvette enthusiast and owner. You sir have provided nothing but an unsubstantiated opinion on something you have no credentials in being an authority on per the information you have provided.

    Best of luck to you.

    Stock and staying that way
    Of course you do. Typical narcissist. I realized then when you said the fans have no idea how the car will be, but then immediately implied you do.

    FWIW one of my best friends has a 2014 or 15 Denali. Had 88k miles a couple months ago. It has towed a racecar in an enclosed trailer, and a travel trailer. It has been problem free since new, just requiring normal maintenance. Your dads experience sounds like BS. Injectors would be in the supply chain, not affected by the strike.

    EDIT: The injectors for a 2018 Denali are available from multiple online retailers. Nice try.

    I'll be doing the rest of the deciding in this thread on the C8, and I decide they are cool.

    That about wraps that up. Any questions?

    Haven't they only ever made one of them until now? That isn't exactly what we would describe as a statistically significant indicator that they are not capable of producing a good one.

    LOL, dude, you don't get to decide who can buy a Corvette and who GM can market it too:rofl:

    LOL again! No you haven't. Everything you have said here is based on emotional reactions to a vehicle you don't like.

    Good god man, owning a Corvette doesn't get you a seat on the board at GM. They have no obligation to produce future cars according to your specific preferences. I have rarely seen someone express as much arrogance and entitlement as you have in this thread. You act like GM just screwed your wife and ran your dog over...

    Well fuck me, now I am a narcissist, LOL... I am using multiple sources and reports of known issues on the C8 along with trends from GM's past to come to my conclusions coupled with my experience. I could give less than two fucks if you do not agree.

    As for the injectors. I have a Silverado as a daily, my wife has a Tahoe and I have had very few issues with them so good for you that your buddy has had no issues. As for the DEALER not being able to get the parts the employees at the parts depot for GM where the DEALER is required to get the parts is on strike. Therefore there is no one to ship them to the dealer within the GM system.

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/mone...ealers-struggle-find-repair-parts/3780199002/

    Here is a story to back that up from USA Today. You fucking idiot!
