| The lurch drops to the floor under acceleration, happens from a stop and under most any speed. this causes damage to the clutch causing a strong smell of burnt clutch. dealers say i am abusing the car even though this happens sometimes under normal driving. when the clutch drops to the floor you can not shift, accurate, of disengage the clutch to prevent damage. ( damaged clutch causes chatter and slippage resulting in the dealer saying the clutch needs to be replaced) after searching the internet i found many people were having this problem. from what i can gather it is cause by a design flaw that lets the clutch fluid dirty over time. in the manual, it stats that the clutch guild does not need to be check regularly. i have read that this issue affect newer corvettes as well. *tr | |||

| Massive engine failure due to a failed exhaust valve after inspection, car lost all power and was immobile after rolling to a stop. the 7 and 8 cylinder on the block were completely ventilated. this is a very common problem with 2006-2011 corvettes and many others have had the same issue.what happens is the head of the exhaust valve falls off and then it makes contact with the piston and takes out the block and piston and rods. please investigate this as there is several hundred or more z06 equipped with the ls7 motor that has had the same issue. it is a safety concern and imho there should be some kind of recall on these motors. *tr | |||
