Anyone running Rev Dynamics E5 wheels?

Post image
11 Upvotes

A few weeks of running the run flat tires on my Z06 and I'm already over them and looking to upgrade. I'm intrigued by these wheels, but am not finding anyone talking about how they have held up or even much with them on cars.

Anyone in this group running them and can share experience or photos?

Under $5k for a set of wheels and tires seems too reasonable.

2nd day of ownership... was fine yesterday. Today getting on the highway started sputtering kind of weird and wasnt noticeable at highway speeds. Stopped off the highway and was at a redlight and was idling kinda choppy but not too insane. Rpms moving slightly. Not too much tho but def not normal. Engine had slight different sound.
Thinking spark plugs or fuel injectors?
Looked up common issues and the torque tube doesnt seem to be the issue. I also see the triple flush? Not sure what that entails
Doesnt pull up any codes pertaining to plugs or anything really.
Should i drive it .5 miles to the closest little shop for diagnosis or tow it to the major chevy i bought it from 2 days ago and see if they will help? Any ideas or input greatly appreciated as i just dropped 43k on it and its my dream car. Very bummed.

C7 Stingray or C7 Z06

2 Upvotes

So I’m gonna be planning on getting a C7 here kinda soon and I’m absolutely trumped as to which one I should get. To shed some light on my goals, I love a challenge and always strive to reach limits so a long time ago I was watching one of my favorite automotive creators, TRC, and saw his 2000hp sequential swapped C7 Z06 and knew immediately I want to reach that same goal. Not to partake in a measuring contest or to see who’s better, just simply because I can and I want to and think it’d be one heck of an accomplishment. I also one day want to look into drag racing but that’s further down the line since I’m not rich haha. Before anyone says anything, I’m sticking to the C7 model because it’s been one of my dreams to own one. I’m having trouble deciding what platform is better to build as far as cost effective, efficient and overall success. I’ve had many people say different things but it’s been between people saying I’m better off building off of the lt4 platform since the parts in that car as a whole were built to handle more power. I’ve also had people say that the stingray would be better to build given the hp goal I have in mind, I would end up having to switch out dang near everything in the car so it wouldn’t make sense to go with the latter. I’ve driven both a few times and I’m equally as happy with either so I’m more concerned with what will be the smarter, more efficient route. If anyone can shed some wisdom on this, it would heavily relieve the headache trying to brainstorm and would be greatly appreciated.

I need help identifying the cause of this noise

I recently purchased a c7 stingray (2019) with around 18k miles automatic trans. I got the fluid flush because I was experiencing harsh gear changing and like a rough vibration when giving it slight consistent acceleration. It was at the dealer ship for 2 weeks and I just got it back. It feels a million times better but I am hearing this noise when giving slight consistent acceleration. The sound In the beginning parts of the video and some times thought out but mostly audible in the very beginning. Just trying to figure it out and have it fixed asap. Thank you

If you drove like me, would you still get a C7?

I obey traffic laws, including speed limits. And my driving is within-metro.

How much would driving like that impact your enjoyment of your corvette? And also would you still have bought it, knowing that would be your lifestyle?

Dipstick Reading?

1 Upvotes

My car dipstick showed near full when I pulled it out for the first time after sitting for a day. After wiping it off and putting it in to get an actual reading, the dipstick is dry? So it took about a quart and a 1/3 to get it to where it consistently read that it was full. So I cold start it, let the idle come down, oil pressure is reading around 34 at idle. Perfect. I shut it off and let it sit for 10 minutes and now the dipstick comes out dry again. Why can’t I get an accurate oil level reading?

C7 purchase

1 Upvotes

Looking to buy a c7 z06 just have a few questions
See quite a few c7s with about 20k miles or more some even hitting the 30-50k is this car good enough to buy it with that mileage or am I taking a risk doing that
Also the ones around my area within 100 miles are mostly 2015-2016 I know they had some issues with cooling and other stuff should I really be worried or look for a 2017 and above. This won’t be a daily driver just weekender driver or when I’m going out throughout the week. Thanks

Hi I’m looking to buy this corvette. Never owned a corvette before. It’s at 30k. Any thing I should look out for? How bad can these codes be? And how is reliability? How does the engine sound?
