Default no oxygen sensor question

What would be the repercussion of driving a C6 without oxygen sensor (front & rear)? Just bad gas mileage? or could it be dangerous to the motor?

I assume you're talking about all 4 sensors being removed. The car would probably run, but not every well. Okay for a short trip, driving sensibly. The ECM might default into the limp home mode.

Car runs real strong. To give you a little background, I put in a G5X3 cam last month, mail order tune from RPM, with some noticeable power. Then this monday we installed the headers and I didnt have the o2 sensor extension that come with the LG long tubes. I tried the car out & now it REALLY performs, day & night compared to without the headers. (We did 2 good WOT pulls with it, then drove it home & parked it)

Car is a fuel pig, runs rich, which I expected until I re-connect the o2 sensors (I ordered the extensions from LG, should get them early next week)

I was just wondering if I can still drive it around until then, or could this damage the motor
