You can't drop a valve unless you drive it

I should talk. 9700 miles on mine - bone stock. But I drive it more now that the 06 is gone.

True. I bought the car in July 2016 and it had 2,086 miles on it, so it was the original owner that never drove it. I would consider myself more of a car collector, so the car is not going to get a ton of miles put on it even though I love driving it. My next move would be a low mile C6 ZR1 in a few years and depending on cash flow.

2008, currently with 46188 miles.

Had valve guides checked with 26,918 miles and they were out of spec. Heads were replaced under extended warranty.

Had valve guides checked with 42,658 miles and they were out of spec. Heads were replaced under extended warranty. The cam was also losing a lobe and it was replaced under extended warranty.

The car had been stock through the end of the extended warranty except for Akropovic axle back exhaust.

Just putting back together, I couldn’t make up my mind about the cam so I left it stock. I tried to find someone close that had that cam bc I wanted to look and test it in person So glad u like it!!

I had just over 50,000 miles on my 2007 ZO6 when I got rid of it in 2014 and 15,500 miles on my 2012 Z06 when I got rid of it in 2016. No engine problems or modifications with either car.
