Don't forget to disable AFM when you get the car repaired, or the lifters will just fail again.

they were already disabled. Z06 manual and I never drove in eco mode. Good looking out though.

Did you bite the bullet yet or still deciding?

it’s still in the shop. I won’t get it back for a few more weeks. I did go drive a Supra to see if I liked it and I did but what I really want is to keep mine…so far no other car at a similar price point is comparable.

I don’t know if I will keep it or not. When I get it back I’ll be taking some drives and contemplate more. If I was confident that the car could be reliable then I wouldn’t ever consider changing things up. The Z06 checks all the boxes for me with exception of reliability.
