| I was driving back home from lunch with a friend i haven't seen for a while, car ran flawlessly up to the loss, dropped him back off at his car and we parted ways. then on my way home, making a left hand turn, going about 40mph, 3rd gear cruising along all of a sudden the car sounded like the exhaust came loose, followed by a lot of engine noise, followed by a large white puff of smoke from behind. i had a extended warranty that was by mercury and they denied the warranty due to abuse. went to a race event 3 months prior and did 3 races on a straight away from 50-130, found footage of my car on youtube and they claimed that was the reason why i blew my motor. they said i either had to deny that and risk getting charged with fraud or admit that was me in the video. this will definitely be the last gm i ever buy. now left with a useless car and having to pay out of pocket for a new motor. *tr | |||

| Massive engine failure due to a failed exhaust valve after inspection, car lost all power and was immobile after rolling to a stop. the 7 and 8 cylinder on the block were completely ventilated. this is a very common problem with 2006-2011 corvettes and many others have had the same issue.what happens is the head of the exhaust valve falls off and then it makes contact with the piston and takes out the block and piston and rods. please investigate this as there is several hundred or more z06 equipped with the ls7 motor that has had the same issue. it is a safety concern and imho there should be some kind of recall on these motors. *tr | |||
