I was thinking this...

Go look at the EJ Forums...there are people on their 3rd engine, while still under warranty

EDIT: I owned an STi and I enjoyed it...but every weird sound did spook me.

Not sure why this is some sort of news event. Who gives a shit about one blown engine unless it's their engine? Oh, right, Corvette. The only car that attracts as many "hey look at me" types as the 911.

Regardless, I hope the guy's new motor doesn't pop. That sucks no matter who you are or what you drive.

We had a Hennessey C7 Vette eat rod bearings with under 80km on the odometer.

It probably didn't help when the owner took delivery on a cold engine and I heard him go flat out all the way up the street upon leaving the dealer.

The new z06 has unofficially lapped the nur in under 7 min. Which puts it in the peformance range (obviously in the nur environment) with the 918, P1, and LaFerrari at a fraction of the costs.

Fabricated lap time that's been disavowed by Corvette's chief engineer:

Also near Zonda R territory....

GAHHH DAYYUMMM. If that's true, that really is the performance bargain of the century.

I've never been a big Vette fan but the new Z06 looks awesome and when I saw one in person a few weeks ago, my jaw dropped.

tahdizzle · 01-28-2015, 02:33 PM

I said "unofficial" :p

By unofficial, did you mean "completely made up?"

It wouldn't surprise me if the C7Z ran under 7:10 though. Officially that is

YukiHachiRoku · 01-28-2015, 02:42 PM

heh, we are all dreamers! <3
