But that was a bare bones no options car. Good luck finding one.

So the big question here is who is buying one on tcg ?

Funny you said that. I have a big stack of cash burning a hole in my pocket, and that cheap one is at the clearwater hertz like 30 minutes from where I live. Thought crossed my mind a few times last night. But honestly Im looking for an already built 6th gen SS camaro or a used manual ZL1 most likely. I would still like to have back seats. But man that cheap Z06 is ZL1 money right now.

So you are trolling yourself. Got it.

Short of doing a frequent 3 minute burnouts in 4th gear, it's really really really hard to actually abuse a car like this on the street (or anywhere really). They're made to be pushed hard on a road course, by actual drivers, so doing 150mph in a straight line or taking a couple 90* turns at 35mph then thinking you're schumacher isn't going to hurt shit. Like KJ said 99% of the people that rent these are blowhards that'll do 70% throttle through 2nd and 3rd then get scared

Personally I’d be concerned with poor maintenance and the fact that people treat rental cars like shit (Curb rash, scratches, stains on interior, scratches on leather, etc.). I guess it depends on how cheap you get the car as those things can be repaired.

Nope, you are just pointing out something that has already been discussed and noticed. But hey if you want to try and pile on go for it.

Dont be crying now. You came in here talking about C8 prices in a Hertz C7 thread.

poor maintenance? on the rental rides?

really solid chance those things see too many oil changes and tire rotations.

But its a Z06 you cant rotate the staggered tire setup.

Lemme know when you see a Z06 rocking 335s in the front and 285s in the rear

Yes, it’s been my experience that rental cars are poorly maintained. Most of the time they can’t even do a proper wash, so do you believe they are actually doing standard maintenance?

Recent memory of issues with rentals-Bad Trans on newer Toyota Sienna, baldish tires on Pacifica with under 30k miles, multiple vehicles with warped brake rotors. My last rental before COVID was pretty solid. I got a brand new Jeep Gladiator.

where are you renting from? that's really surprising.

you have to remember a "proper wash" is likely them scrubbing the shit in between the 12 minutes it's off rent oil changes/maintenance isn't happening in the back shop.

managers at most rental places are graded on how often their vehicles see maintenance and they are HARDCORE AF about it.

Avis or Budget.

I would bet if you checked the oil on most rentals it would be black as fuck. Rentals are dumped before they are out of warranty so the rental car companies probably give no fucks. Every rental I got had low tires, filthy interiors, scratched to fuck and I had to turn around and give one back that wouldnt shift out of first gear.

My shop used to service Avis rental cars from the hotel across the street. They were always on top of regular maintenance

Enterprise

you must have weirdly bad luck then.

i've had 6 home-store enterprise rentals for more than a day or two (some up to a month) in the past 2 years and they've all been fuckingfantastic

Thats a good point in that some are corporate locations vs franchises. The locations that I rent from are airports so assuming that they are corporate. I’ve rented from a few local franchises and they seem to care more about the customer experience.

Almost all of mine were from the St. Charles location on 64.
