Default newbie from AR

I just recently purchased a 2008 z06 with 12k miles. My previuos ride was a 2011 ctsv coupe with stage one mods. After reading on here about reliability of the ls7 I hope it wasnt a mistake! I'm scared to drive it until I get the heads checked out.

Car was doing great got home and was going to drive some more but the clutch went to the floor. I pulled it forward and even pumped it several times with no luck. It still want engage. Fluid is full no sign of leaks. This sound like a slave cylinder or the master cylinder gone bad!

The same thing happened with my 2012 Camaro. It ate my clutch disc. You might not want to take too long to repair it.
