CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON LS7

Seems a bunch of vette owners had enough of the problems with the LS7 and hired a lawyer.

What i will be interested in seeing is a real settlement. Most class action lawsuits only make the lawyers money. My Dad died from asbestos, mesothelioma. The lawsuits have created billions of dollars in settlement money. My mom has only received a couple thousand dollars. One of these lawyers on the GM suit needs to be specific on the solution. If it is only a monetary settlement the Corvette owners wont be able to actually fix the problem. That is my rant, thanks for reading.

This is why I sold my 2009 Z06.. with 17K miles on it. My 5 year power train warranty was up. I wasnt willing to take the risk of that engine exploding itself to the tune of $17K bucks for a crate replacement.

I am assuming the Z/28 is going to have the same problems? I wasn't aware of any issues with the LS7...

Probably, but most Z28s are driven much less than Z06s, and there are not nearly as many so it won't be as "noticed".

I know that motor has its problems, but I still think it is a great engine. I'd rather run an LS7 then a LT4. Just my opinion.
