Have the actual owner post here, unsure as to why he hasn't anyway. We'd love to hear a detail story from him, as to what happened and so forth.

Yes GM gives the ok to the dealer......thanks for clearing it up for yourself.:thumbsup:

and then the owners nuts, shortly after he realized what just happened....

Not everyone gets that concept. A lot of car owners think that their respective manufacturer owns local dealerships.

Yes the ashen gray one.

Not sure he is on here.

He posted that the dealer already ordered a new motor. He has a Impala LTZ as a loaner until they get the new motor in. The owner of the dealer called him personally first thing in the morning. He bought it to take to shows and cruise around, no racing or hard driving on it.

Nothing but chevron 91 octane in it, which is the best available around here.

SC2150, I said the same thing. I'm betting a dropped valve that chunked the piston and then fragged the block.

I was there. Nothing out of the ordinary. We were leaving the Autorama. I was right behind Him in My SS. He took off... BOOM! Oil everywhere, metal fragments all over the road and in the underbelly pan with a bunch of oil. His ZL1 had been sitting in the Autorama for four days before this.We shall wait to see what the dealer says. No mods, no track time or heavy use and abuse of this ZL1. Only 8k miles. Trevor is a good Friend of mine. It's terrible. I'm sure GM will repair it up and send him on his way. It's gotta be a freak accident that or somebody did something to his car at the Autorama.

If anyone ever tries to deny me warranty coverage based on high performance driving, I'm going to play them that youtube video I posted earlier.

This car has never seen any high performance driving as far as track/racing/etc. He got it as a show car/cruiser. He drives it back and forth to work and to car shows.

I bet Superbad has some Grey Hulk oil misted over his front.

or over revving engine ? .......... don't we have a rev limiter?

Wow! That's crazy, from the look of that piston I can only imagine the sound it made when it happened. Only thing that comes to mind is when my husband eats Mexican food. Bang, like a thunder cloud!

:laughabove:

Dude, I got so much wax on SUPRBAD it just rolled off... :bellyroll:

Wow, that really sucks :(

Wow that's crazy! I too suspected dropped valve, rocker arm/valve spring/ valve failure.
