    LS7 Rocker Arm Failures

    Thanks Augydog- I agree we have a 100k powertrain on our great Z06's (I also have a 2007). What bothers me is the recommended GM action is only replace the arms that are failed (if one fails I go by the principle the rest will eventually fail!) and the main issue leaving the needle bearings...

    LS7 Rocker Arm Failures

    C6 Z06 Rocker Arm Failures As discussed on the CAC forum, I am also very concerned with this report as it appears the 2007 LS7 motors are receiving the bulk of reported failures (it could be they have been around a little longer than the 2008"s??) As described on the CAC, there is a GM...

I've only had her for a couple of days and put on about 75 miles but...there is an amazing difference between the C5 and C6 Z06's. My 2001 was a quick car as it was modified and ran very well...

    Left Rear Wheel

    I agree with GMJunkie this sounds like an alignment issue. the design of the C5 Corvette rear suspension has a cam type adjuster that can actually slip if not tightened properly or if the alignment you pointed out (done 3 months ago) was done improperly at that point. The first starting point is...

    Is a 1984 CFI with 80,000 miles a good starter Vette?

    1984 as First Corvette Hi Funtoy and welcome to the CAC! The 84 Corvette as many have pointed out was a carryover engine (L82 Crossfire) from the 1982 C3 Corvette. This was done as the new L98 was not yet certified for the the new C4 body style introduced and sold in 1984. The L82's utilized a...
