Great top off weather in these parts, engine seems to be fine, finally got my first 3.9s 0-60 so I'm happy 
I too feel bad for anyone who loses an engine, but at this point I'm not going to dump off the car because of it. I plan on leaving it stock for the duration so its GM's problem if it breaks, not mine.

**** the haters! My C7 has been great. Dealer delivered it in winter so tires cracked... GM gave me 4 new replacement tires under warranty. No arguments... No hassles.
For those whiners who complain about every little thing... Most of us just don't give a **** and have learned to ignore you.
As for blown motors when "racing" and not getting warranty coverage... It amazes me that anyone thinks the manufacturer will give them a " no fault guarantee" under those conditions. I've always found that most manufacturers (GM included) are pretty reasonable and fair dealing with claims under those kinds of situations. If you think a failed Corvette engine is pricey, try blowing a brand new "offshore" motor with less than 4 hours on it. The motor can be worth more than your entire Vette... Bottom line is: **** happens... That's racing.
If you can't afford to pay the price then you shouldn't be playing... If you're not willing to be responsible you shouldn't be racing... If you don't like the way you've been treated then go somewhere else. Big boy cars... Big boy rules. Suck it up!
