Yup freaking awesome cars when you can actually drive them instead of being on car stands or in repair shops.

Bone stock LS3's don't have any problems, usually very reliable, only LS7 an LS9's. Unless they are moded. It is possible previous owner did something that caused that to happen, that is why i never buy used performance cars, only new and treat them well.

If I could have afforded a new one I def would have went that route. The one I bought had several owners and I almost passed on it because of that but I know these cars tend to change hands often so I went for it. I do regret buying the car but it is what it is. I honestly do not think the guy I bought it off of did anything to cause this but it’s very possible that somebody before him did… but I’ll never know for sure

Yes one of them knew. When that happened it would have been a big racket from the engine, not unnoticeable. So they sold it. You would have not known. Not your fault.
