I was about a week away from purchasing a 2005 SRT6 with 7,000 miles on it. But after hearing all the Supercharger and IC problems this car has I guess I will be looking at used Corvettes...Very dissappionted that the car is such a piece of crap in the engine department because I really love the way the car looks...

 

The main problem is the intercooler pump which is a VERY small cost to 'fix' or upgrade for this car... if that was your main concern... you are the one that lost out.

Don't blame us.

 

WTF are you talking about? An IC pump that fails on some of them is not a big deal.

 

Why should you be dissapointed? You didn't lay your money down. You should be elated that you did your research first and discovered that the (possible) failure of a $125 part saved your bacon. Why were you considering an SRT in the first place?

Good luck with the Vette - vey nice cars. Here's a link to your first mod -

I'll have to agree - if you are passing on it because of the I/C pump issue then you are the one who lost out.

Vettes are nice cars though - no doubt! But, you wont touch one for the price of an SRT6 (at least not a C6).

WTF!?! Uhhh, ok dude...

 

WEIRD what hell is going on is this a joke. You are telling us you passed up on a SRT6 for a corvette. AHHA HAHAHAH lol the AMG engine that has all the kinks worked out over 10 years "piece of crap" was passed up for a run of the mill corvette, to top it off PROBABLY a C5 corvette, assuming since you were looking at SRT's those are the only corvettes in your price range. EVERYONE who has ever owned a corvette knows that there is a list of problems that come with it. LET us know in your warped opinion if these problems, if not taken care of right away, sound more dangerous then and IC pump failure.

Leaks in the drive train, Problem areas include the rear-gear output seals (differential axle seals), front-pump seals and/or gaskets on the automatic transmissions, and the front seal or case sealer leaks on the manual transmissions.

The best part is our cars compensate for the IC going out not letting us over rev or get full throttle response until temp sensor and pump is fixed. lol let me know how your USED corvette compensates for a leak in the tranny or differentail axle.

Do I even need to start with the fact that your dime a dozen corvette will only run high 13s sometimes low 14s lol

 

This will tell you all you need to know.

Probably got spanked by a SRT-6 while in his pony.

I smell a...

 

Maybe he's having a 'roid rage!

 

Agreed, my SRT 6 will spank most any Corvette except the new 505 HP Z06, hell my '04 coupe would stay right with a Mustang GT & an '04 GTO.

 

Wow, is about all I can say to that... A $125 upgraded IC pump stops someone from buying one. Let us know how that vette works out for you when it starts drinking oil like gas and motor blows. The Rear gears make a really interesting sound too. I kinda enjoy it myself. Everyone within a block of you will know it's a vette with a broke rear end. So, your out of warrany repair costs, in my prediction, will total $1,000 + in the first 6 weeks. Of, and look out for those rear brake rotors, they have a bad habit of cracking and coming apart with hard use...

Ok, so how many people on here are running mods? Has anyone had a reliability issue or blown anything up yet? Anyone? That's what I thought.

 

Time to move on to the "Vette" forum and leave this forum as several here own crappy SRT6 cars here.
I wish I owned a crappy SRT6 but I love my '04 Coupe. If you think a SRT6 is crappy you are very misinformed.

 

You're absolutely right, these Crossfires (especially the SRT's) will never hold up well enough for you.
Considering your size, you'll be much more comfortable in a used Vette, and blend right in with the rest of the traffic.
And as we all know, Corvettes NEVER have any problems.
Good Luck with your new Vette, and be sure to come back when ya can stay longer.

 

Let me see, AMG all forged internals (bullet proof) PERFORMANCE division of Mercedes Benz engine. And the Tranny, isn't it a Mclaren witch is the RACING divison of Mercedes Benz? CRAPPY, I don't think so Tim.

 

You know, if he spends a week on ANY car forum he can find a recurring flaw with ANY car. Some are minor, some aren't. Last I checked the Corvette was no more or less "perfect" than any other car on the road today. Perhaps a bicycle would be a better transport mode for this guy.

 

No need to get upset.
He is just a prepubescent troll.

 

lol I hope he comes back this is what we call getting owned. Untill then I found pictures for all to just laugh at lol lets hijack this thread and turn it into best looking corvette pictures we can find thread.

 

Ya know, I'm really sorry to see this guy go away...(ha, ha) He sounded like such and intelligent and well read person.

Guess I'll have to go start my Piece Of Manure and drive home with **** eatin' smile on my face.

 

HAHA Hilarious!!!


Hey redlinedrummer...I'm guessing that you're not real good at math, so I'll help you out.

Instead of getting a great and unique car ($45,000 new a couple of years ago for $25,000 now) that MIGHT need a $150 fix...you want to be a lemming and get a corvette. Hmmm...jump off the cliff, jump off the cliff...
