06 w/ 23k ... no issues, and pure enjoyment. my build was toward end of 06 model run.

bought in 2010 w/ 8k, 90% of my miles are interstate runs.

2006 Z06 14,500 miles of smiles Zero issues. Stock except for B&B Bullet exhaust. No tune (except on the radio), no radical cams, no track days. Just spirited street driving.

2009 Blade Silver Stock 23,400 miles no issues. What a great car!! Mfg in October 08. I get the usual valve train noise. Run it up to 2-3000 RPM and get nothing that sounds bad. So I am a happy guy.

Looks like as long as you don't track or drive your car at an extreme level....you're safe.

07 just under 20k, seems that it may be burning extra fuel when I mash the throttle. I've also had tire slip when first accelerating, I hope this is normal.

28,500 miles on my 07. Bone stock. Had engine replaced under warranty for the bearings going out. Approximately 4,500 miles on the new LS7 and it runs great.

45k 06 Z06. 0 problems but just did new PRC heads, Katech torquer 110 cam, kooks longtubes w/catless mid pipes, Fast 102 w/NW 102 throttle body and some other stuff. Original heads were in spec on guides and valves were good. Going to use them on a Camaro build. I did the heads because I read the forums to much and got worried about dropping a valve.

Mine is an 07 with 38k spirited driven street miles on almost five years of use. Barely any oil consumption and no dreaded LS "ticking" of any kind. Oil changed at 5k intervals. Contrary to my LS2 that was very noisy.
