My LS7 hasn't blown up

It's been several weeks since our last batch of threads announcing LS7's are blowing up.

Just thought I'd check in to announce mine hasn't. Is there something wrong with mine???

Now that's what I'm talking about.... I still envy folks that can launch these car's. I get wheel spin through 3rd gear on my OEM street tires.

I'll be at Road America in 2 weeks for 2 days of high speed fun (close to 150 miles of WOT and 18 shifts per lap) and will report back on how my car performed.

That one was me, but she'll be out in it soon. She was right on my heels before the DR's so I am sure she will do just fine.

You should trade it in for GS while you still have a chance. The GS is only a nano second slower than a Z06 and you don't have to worry about it blowing up.
