I voted as well. less than 6000 miles on mine, and all of my exhaust valve guides were shot. That's without any track time at all. My 2010 Z06 was repaired by Katech with Titanium Valves and Bronze valve guides, but that was still around 6K. WCCH that does the heads for Katech stated these were the worst ones they had seen yet. I actually do not have skin in the game any longer since I already did the repair myself, but I no longer consider GM products for my vehicle purchases at this time. As far as I'm concerned, this is clear demonstration that GM does not really care about people that purchase their "premium" products.

I have actually started to look at Porsche GT3's due to this issue and being sick of not knowing. Unfortunately the GT prices have recently started going through the roof which throws a wrench into that works.
I love my Callaway SC652 more than any car I have ever owned and would even be happy with Tad/Callaway or somebody telling me what a definite fix is or if we need one. I know a lot of people are going with the Stainless Steel valves but I have read you do not want to put that much weight into the valve train as it was designed with light weight valves in mind. All I want is a car I can drive spirited and have a piece of mind.
We deserve some answers.
