Some C8 owners report clunks, shudder or harsh engagement from the TR-9080 dual-clutch transmission at low speeds, such as parking, creeping in traffic, or shifting into drive or reverse. Some of this is normal DCT behavior, but some cases need a dealer to check.

Some C7 Z06 owners, especially with early cars on hot days, report the car reducing power or showing high temperature warnings after a few hard laps. The supercharged LT4 creates a lot of heat. GM made changes to later cars, and the aftermarket offers cooling upgrades.

Many C7 owners, especially with wide-body Z06 and Grand Sport cars, report cracked or bent factory cast wheels, often after potholes. Cracks are usually on the inside barrel, out of sight. Low-profile tires and big wheels leave little cushion.

Some C6 manual owners report the clutch pedal staying on or near the floor after high-RPM shifts, usually during spirited driving or on track. It's commonly linked to the clutch hydraulic system, with heat and aged fluid often blamed.

C1 through C3 Corvettes have tight engine bays and old cooling designs. Many run hot in traffic or on warm days, especially after decades of mineral build-up, missing seals, or mismatched parts. Most cases come down to airflow, the radiator, the fan or the ignition timing.
