How is everyone's clutch feel out there? I have a 2016 and it seems that the clutch has a very small friction point. I'm already used to it but asking because my wife is used to her car which has a very wide friction point which makes it easier for her to start off.
My 2016 feels the same way. It certainly has a shorter/sharper engagement point than other cars I've had. I wouldn't say it's overly grabby, though. It just takes some getting used to.
It's all relative, My Volvo V70R was a toggle switch, almost everyone at the dealership stalled it at least once. My Porsche was ridiculously long for a sports car.
I agree with vy427. The clutch is way different than the c6 and c5 I had before the 2016 I have now. Have about 900 miles on it and still not totally used to it. But it does not matter. This car is great

Ever type car is a bit different re engagement point. Compared to my C6, this twin clutch disk clutch is easier to operate but different. While she is getting used to it, do what some others have found is easier, start in 2nd. I've done it to try and it does make starting somewhat easier. Mine is a Z51 so the low ratio 1st is more than needed for a smooth casual start. 2nd is fine.
Try an idle rollout, no throttle. Have to be careful not to stall, but should help you acclimate to the clutch quickly. Something I was taught over 40 years ago.
Certainly short and crisp but you get the feel of where it engages with time. I still bog trying to ease out sometimes but i can just pretend I just bought the car.
I'm getting used to my 2016 but it has taken some time. I've developed the habit of tapping the throttled to raise the revs a tiny bit before I start. Not sure it's a great habit but it helps me feel more confident with a smooth start. Anyway, both the car and I are getting used to each with each passing hour. The beginning of a beautiful friendship

Reverse seems to be a bit grabby for me... maybe because im always trying to ease it out of blind spots, or inclines. If you don't give it enough throttle and it tends to bog down a bit. All in all just have to get used to how much clutch vs throttle she needs.
I have a ‘16 Z06 and the clutch pedal sits halfway to the floor when the car is hot and on hot says. I’m in FL so temps get pretty extreme, but still think there is something not right about the clutch pedal falling to the floor. When the car is cold, it sits up and engages where it should.

I'm in south fl, as well and havent experienced this. As others have said, it def has a different feel than my c6's did, and it has taken me awhile to get used to it, but mine has never sat low. Have you checked the fluid to make sure it's not low?

Mine seems to like to pop out of first occasionally, even with an MGW shifter which I find irritating considering my c6's did the same thing. I've kind of gotten used to watching for it.
I’ve had it checked out a few times at the dealer. It doesn’t do it when moving; for example, I’ll pop it in neutral at a light and then in first when the light turns green - start letting out in the clutch and it’ll occasionally pop back into neutral as if 1st wasn’t fully engaged.

I had the exact same issue. Corvette technician could not reproduce the problem after a couple of days of test drives. We decided to flush and replace the clutch hydraulic fluid (28,000 miles on the car and due at recommenced at 40,000 anyway). This fixed the problem.
I did some searching on extended warranties.
Are these people still our best option?

the picture shows my left side rear shock, as you can see there is a wet looking spot on the Shock just below the boot. Running my finger over it left an oily residue on my finger.
Now the question is it the shock? Or is it the joint?
The scrape mark on the shock is also a clear sign that...
I have been using Davis Chevrolet in Gainesville Fl. to service my 2015 Z51 for 4 years. They now have no interest in selling me tires (I asked them to honor Chevrolets matching policy) or changing my oil.
I am willing to drive 25 miles south to Ocala. Can anyone recommend a quality dealership...
I have a 14 vette and I had changed the cabin filter a yr. ago but think I put it in wrong. First does it follow the tracks in the hole that make it go up on a angle or some how lay flat. Second does the arrow go for air flow, facing up or facing down. I have look at different u tube and still...

So I thought I had a battery problem because of a whirring noise I heard by the door. Thought the motors weren't getting enough power.
But nice JSVette directed me to some other threads about the fuel door actuator failing and a fix...
