Z06 Kaboom at under 900 miles!

The question is, if this proves to be more than just a single isolated incident, how is Chevy going to respond?

"...who lives 540 miles away from where he bought the car, and used the drive home to properly break in his new Z06."
Wrong. Driving a new car on the highway at a constant rpm is no good.
"Note: the replacement-part cost for an Audi/Lamborghini V10 is about $25,000"
i say BS.

I'm not surprised at all. They are having serious issues (as reported in other forums) with that engine. From blown engine to serious heating issues (kiss tracking it goodbye).
What Porsche did was simply amazing when they had a few issues. No other manufacturer would have done that--and I can almost assure you GM won't touch that with a 10' pole.

If these guys can't get an ignition switch right how did anyone expect them to get this right. I'm not surprised at all. If this is not an isolated incident this could spell disaster for GM. The silver lining here is how many cars could have possibly been delivered thus far?

I'm not surprised about a motor problem. It happens. Chevy v8 motors are the most mass produced motor in the world. With that said, the Z06 motor is a lot more exotic. That motor is being pushed even harder. Chevy will fix and move on. Over all this power plant will be extremely reliable and will take a pounding.
