I personally know 3 locally that have dropped valves in LS7s. It's the biggest reason I didn't pick up a C6Z when I sold my Tankmaro.

so, what cars would be in that series? 1. AMG SLS 563hp 6.2l 2. porsche GT2 3. ferrari 458 4. 2013 bmw m6 5. jaguar f-type 6. camaro 7 liter those cars would have to do. there is no equivelant ford or dodge. the Z28 is competing against nothing, and is priced too high. i wanted to trade my mustang for one, but i will never pay 70,000 for a camaro of any kind. anyone who does as too much money and is compensating for something. i laugh at the purchasers of this old-rich man car. its great that they made the car, it's crap that its priced 20,000 too high and belongs to collectors.

In 1986-92, GM-Canada had a very successful series for IROCs/TAs-only. A fellow named Ron Fellows graduated from that series. And the 1LE was a DIRECT descendant of it, as well.
This car may be so good that GM may have to consider something like that, again. Viper Cup, Porsche Cup. Successful series for single-marque cars. And a way to get them on-track without the hassles of reconfiguring the car to satisfy Ford/Mopar/Import "playpen rules". And a way to sell some parts, too. |

who cares about a dropped valve. it's under warranty. that comment is a bait and nitpicking objections.
the car is a gol-danged 427 Camaro. if it wasn't ruined by price and marketing id get one. it's a last shot EVER to get a 427 Camaro. too bad for us regular folks. we will never see one even on the road. they will be bought for 100k and stored for auction 40 years from now. stupid chevrolet. stupid. im disappointed because i wanted one for myself.

Again, for the umpteenth time, there are REASONS that the number produced will be what it is. There ARE "constraints".
