Default Question about C7 engine?

Is the C7 the first Vette to use a direct fuel injection engine?

Not GM's first engine to use Direct Injection. They have selling DI engines in other car models since 2007 so with a million or so engines on the road have a lot of experience building and servicing the engines. They haven't had the problems the European car manufacturers have had with DI and intake valves.

I don't get this response. The fact is that the C7 is the first Corvette (any gen) to have a DI motor. That's gospel.
