Although the LT4 equipped +General Motors C7 Z06 typically just obliterates its engine in a peaceful manner, there is always the first time for the engine actually blowing up and causing the flagship to catch on fire.
Ironically enough, it has been almost exactly one year since the same thing happened to the base Stingray.
This time, it was time for +Tadge Juechter 's greatest accomplishment, Corvette C7 Z06 to blow up and catch on fire, in the greatest Vikin funeral style. The ceremony took place just last week at Mid-Ohio road course track in Lexington, Kentucky.
As with the lowly Stingray, the flagship's engine decided to expose its innerts in a rather violent manner during a non competition lap in 70 degree weather. After being soaked with the required 15W-40 TRACK REQUIRED oil, the remnants of the flagship, especially the exhaust manifolds and catalytic converteres decided to double up the carcas as a ceremonial Viking long boat. Luckily for the driver/owner, Odin was not expecting him yet, leaving him to the earthly pleasures of dealing with his insurance company and outright divine GM customer service (in India or Midgard?).
Since this car used an aftermarket air intake assembly, there is a possibility of extremely lean condition underlying the blow up but this is somethign TBD by the GM customer service and technical experts.
Those dam defective oil filters strike again. I hope the owner did not have to far to walk to get back to his diaper bag to change his diaper. These old dried up farts that own these cars should know that they are not track cars, and they will never be track cars. If you want to have a car that can handle in all conditions, and not blow up, and be able to recover from a mistake get a Porsche.
ReplyDeleteLOL about the diaper.
DeleteI'm all about this motor in the corvette is trash, but your other option is to get a porsche because they DON'T light on fire and/or blow up? What planet do you live on? GT3. Recall. Fires. Ring a bell? http://www.autoblog.com/2014/02/20/porsche-tells-911-gt3-owners-no-driving/
DeleteMultiple 2011 and 2012 porsches recalled for engine fires too. Sounds like Gatordog is drinking koolaid of a different flavor, but still drinking it. lol
You said it, Porsche recalled the cars and fixed the issue. What has GM done??? Lets see they changed the oil early. Yes Porsche has it's share of problems, so has Toyota, Ford, and all car makers. The issue is do they correct the defects. Which car would you want to be driving if you entered a turn to quick and the car broke traction and you had to recover? Which car would you want if you could not recover and you wrecked? Which car would you want to be driving if you rolled it? I would pick the Porsche for all of the above situations.
DeleteEveryone knows that porsches explode when you crash *cough* paul walker *cough*
DeleteStill not my car of choice. GLUG GLUG GLUG........ ahhhh, koolaid. lol
At the speeds you would catch on fire in a Porsche, this would be a cremation service, not the act of dying. I would recommend installing a kool aid dispenser in the fllagship to prevent possible injury, a sprayer nozzle should work great.
DeleteWhat is the reference to Koolaid Mr. GM. Are you a idiot? The last Porsche fire issue cause by a oil fire started by a broke con-rod, and Porsche re-called every single car and replaced every engine with a new enhanced rod design. Yes, Porsche messed up, but went overboard to fix the issue. I respect that in a car company, where as your company, GM, denies claims whenever they can. .....I think Mr GM is a heavy drinker and it is not koolaid.
DeleteHow is GM my company? When was that said? Go back and read the posts again you SPED. I never defended anything about GM. This is not an us vs. them discussion. I merely cited the fact that going from a corvette to a porsche was not much of an upgrade. More of a lateral move. Obviously the koolaid is up to your eyeballs and clouding your vision. lol
DeleteAs for drinking the koolaid, you can find the reference on wikipedia. Sorry, thought everyone was familiar with that idiom.

Mr GM = G for Gregory an M for Mack, I was referring to your name. What a idiot. you did not realize your initials were GM. Why do you like to start off post trying to Bully people, not nice at all. Refer to your 1st reply, where you had to Bully me, for no reason. You are a bad evil person. Shame on you (bully)
DeleteI could swear I was laughing in every one of my posts. Because it was meant to be humorous. You've obviously never been bullied or you'd know the difference. I was nothing but nice and cordial to you and stated only facts about porsche and its shortcomings. Thank you for the name calling, it speaks volumes to your intelligence level. As for my initials, I am quite aware of my own name. IF there were a bully in this thread, it's obviously you. Diaper bag, old farts, idiot. You sure speak like a bully. You're very disappointing as a human being. I don't know how you sleep at night.
DeleteOh, and porsches are trash. :)
the Gigantic Mistake has another General Malfunction.get the GT350 R if you want to get on the track.chevy sucks.
