I've owned four C5s and I never noticed that any of them used oil between changes.

Thanks, I think I'm an less worried about it than I was this morning, but still concerend, so I am going to attempt to track it down. It may not have a lot of miles, but it is older and I'm fairly sure it spent some time sitting before I bought it, so I am going to give it a good once-over.

My car is a vert, never seen a track but sees high rpms all the time....both the built supercharged 383 in it now and the stock 350 used oil between changes. I know it’s my beating on it.....

If your car isn’t an ‘01Z06 it shouldn’t use oil. 
All ls engines use oil. The harder you run it the more it uses. 2 quarts (maybe slightly more) in 3k miles hard use is typical.
