Rob Ferretti Finally Broke his C8 Corvette Rental (VIDEO)

In this video we learn Mr. Spaghetti Rob Ferretti finally had his C8 Corvette Rental break after one year and 19,000 miles of ownership which isn’t too bad.

Rob Ferretti shares a P0700 Chevy Corvette Transmission code (Transmission Control System Malfunction) along with high pressure and low pressure Transmission fluid check engine light codes (P0869, P0868).

Which funny enough or not funny at all we recently posted an article about another YouTuber having transmission problems with the C8 Corvette just over 20,000 miles too.

He thought maybe its a minor issue because it was a low and high pressure check engine lights at the same time. Also, Mr. Rob Ferretti (SuperSpeeders Rob on YouTube) has had issues with his local Chevrolet dealership already where they don’t provide great customer service.

The dealer had to update the solenoid pins so nothing major. All good for Rob Ferretti and his C8 Corvette Rental!

Rob Ferretti Sells His C8 Corvette but is Getting Another One

Sounds like he is going to wholesale the car and it just lost its Roof but other than that its been a great car.

Check out this Rapid Blue C8 Convertible at Corvettes at Carlisle 2020 which is the first owner of the car and very customized with carbon flash.

This first Hard Top C8 Convertible is gorgeous and one of the nicest hard top convertibles on the market. It reminds us of the Mclaren Hard Top Convertibles as well.

This is from Jeremy Welborn YouTube Channel.

I arrived at Corvettes at Carlisle this afternoon, said “hi” to Mike Furman and our friends from Spring Mountain Motor Resort/Ron Fellows Performance Driving School, checked out Mike Furman’s 2020 Corvette Coupe, and then found Al & Andrea showing off their newly delivered 2020 Corvette Hard Top Convertible (HTC). Al talked with me about their new Corvette and allowed me to check out the top and rear window operation, engine access, and other elements of the new HTC. Thanks to Al & Andrea for taking time to share their new Corvette with us! My apologies for the wind noise during the interview. The wind was blowing so hard that organizers asked people to either stake their tents or take them down.

Is a base 2021 C8 Corvette Z51 convertible the sports car you should buy?

Per YouTube Channel Raiti’s Rides the C8 Corvette is going down in history for many reasons for Chevrolet.

One the biggest reasons is how an owner can personalize it many different ways right from the factory. By going 1LT that will allow you to free up money to put towards other things like the Z51 pkg, painted top, and custom wheels.

Under the engine hatch is the 6.2L V8 that is pumping out 495HP & mated to an 8-speed DCT.
