No, that list definitely has piston slap and broken shifters.

We're entering into a new era where we're gonna start seeing lots of videos with people making straight up false claims and lies just to get views. Kinda like that kid who made the video of the GT500'S MSRP when he knew full well it was not true. Even going to the trouble of having some chick wear a "Ford" t-shirt to look like she is someone official and while at a press release or wherever they were. Then they had a second person make another video saying that the original video released that info knowing none of it was true. All for views. So it won't be surprising to see videos of people lying about certain cars they dislike or lying about their favorite car. Social media used to be a place to get valuable information. But now that everybody wants to make a quick buck from sponsors, they will say and do anything to get views.

When on the track at WOT the car gets 1 or 2 miles to the gallon. That is what I was referring to.

That sounds about right. The engine at 6 grand is thirsty.

I thought it lived under my right foot. My bad. For the record, I typically average ~4-5 MPG during a track event.

+1

Not sure about anyone else but I'm totally shocked that someone would knowingly publishing bogus information under a false pretense to make a buck off the unwashed masses. Our capitalistic aka drive-by aka call it whatever you want modern media has never lied-for-dollars either. And "They" haven't been doing "It" in print for over four hundred years either. Couldn't possibly be true. No way.

1. Defective power steering
2. Excessive oil consumption
3. Passenger air bag defect
4. Premature timing chain wear
5. Spun cam bearings
6. Head gasket leak/failure

Daily drive my ZL1 to and from the office with occasional burst of speeds here and there. 1-6 I have seen none and I'm at almost 8,K miles. So I call Horse Shit here.



Like someone already said, you can make this video of almost any car.



Just enjoy your car. I got the extended warranty just to stop me from modding it and getting stupid with the car

The thumbnail should have told you it's BS. That's probably the worst channel on YouTube.
