I think we all know the answer to the Nurburgring question...the driver crashed it. At high speed, track conditions, accidents can happen even to experienced drivers.

Voted.

And I would recommend rewording the "GM encouragement for C5 aftermarket parts" to something some descriptive to the heart of the matter...like "critical C5 safety parts no longer available."

I hope Tadge knew what he was getting into with this. The answer to the LS7 valve train question is going to make or break him in the forum.

If asked he will post NO new information and I think we can all bet on that. It does let them know however that amid all this hoopla about their new C7, that there are a lot of folks that have not taken their eye off the ball and have not forgotten about this issue, as mush as they would like that to be the case. It's obvious they are not going to actually do anything about the bad head issue on the C6 Z, but watching him continue to skirt this growing issue will be at the very least amusing. It speaks volumes as to why I have lost almost all interest in their C7 Z06.

"No new information" is also an answer, and will provide all the information I need in regards to future car purchases. Like I said, this is a make or break situation.

I don't have a C6 Z06 but will eventually buy a garage queen '13 427 Vert and want to know WTH is going on with the LS7.

Be nice if ol' Tadge offered a few useful insights into the valves.
