Are you talking Gen IV? Cause the earlier gens don’t really have oil consumption issues. And yes I acknowledged way earlier about the Voodo before my thread turned into a Ford vs Chevy reliability thread. I disagree about the LT being cheaper than the coyote to fix. The coyote is pretty stout but on the rare occasion you do have a cam phaser issue I’d rather deal with that versus a lifter issue in the LTX engines. Oil pump gears aren’t a problem unless you’re bouncing off the limiter. GM cars though seem to have oil pump issues without bouncing off the limiter. Again just going by my personal experience.
I literally think about getting a used c6z everyday. Done a ton of research on it but unless I know the person personally, I don’t know if I want to buy someone’s heads cam car. Not to mention maintenance in general is higher on the vette ie having to drop the entire rear subframe just to do a clutch. Still one of my dream cars though.
