I hope the new motors are more reliable
True this Honda owner isn't envious of either the newer Porsches 7.2RS or ZO6 reliability. If I blow a motor in da Civic a new engine is around $4.5k and good used motors go for around $1,500 . Still love my 6GT3

Early C6ZO6 had dry sump issues = boom later ones were better but still susceptible to valve train issues trashing engines. LS3 had really high oil temps and SCCA T1 cars blew a lot. The ZR1 seems to be the most reliable of the bunch, go figure.

I love the C7's owner's manual:
Recommendations for track oil weight, oil fill, track alignment settings, brake bed in settings.
"Using these wheel alignment settings may cause excessive tire wear. Only use these wheel alignment settings for racing or competitive driving. Excessive tire wear is not covered under the vehicle warranty."
Refers to a separate warranty manual I've not yet seen.
