But GM still has a history of protecting the Corvette name. Hell, the GNX from the 80s was rated at lower HP than a Corvette from the same year, even though it was a well known fact that the GNX was sandbagging its HP numbers to keep the "status quo". It's a shame that GM is more concerned with its shareholders these days and not its customers, as I'd love to see more GNX, GTOs and other specialty vehicles produced. Granted, that seems to be the case for a lot of companies these days. I always kept hoping that GM was going to let Buick create a newer version of the GNX as a way of justifying keeping Buick around. |

I think you know the answer to that - how many owners get their valves scoped? Basically none. It's a problem if you don't run a cc

Just like how just by existing the Audi R8 sells tarted up VW GTIs via the Audi A3. |

It's not an either-or situation. There are people if the Vette and Camaro put down the same number, same engine would buy either one depending on their needs. In my none-corporate mind, one wouldn't steal sales from the other. Being as I have children that like to do stuff with me a Vette never came across my mind so me buying a Camaro didn't steal a sale from the Vette. |

I have somewhat of an answer to the carbon build up question. Here is a pic of my heads and vlv's disassembled for my build after 10 K mi. Builder said everything looked really good. Cleaned them all up like new and are now running in my build. No CC during that time.

IMO, that doesnt really pan out because vette people buy vettes and camaro people buy camaros for the most part. Sure, there's a bit of crossover but not in a way that makes vette owners camaro owners in droves. They didnt really build many 2019 ZR1's and they could have made a limited amount of LT5 camaros. Its not without precedent. Under 1000 LT5 ZL1's wouldnt have made much if any impact on corvette sales. In fact, it would have pushed me to buy a new camaro instead of keeping what I have. |

According to car gurus, there's only 33 others out there for sale in my exact spec & color. I like that uniqueness. |

I could swear it was the same longblock or at least rotating assembly? I would like to see the differences if someone has part #s please.

In fact, the 6th gen SS is also pretty rare, I have seen very few of those. 5th gens are way more common, but are dwarfed by the literal sea of Mustangs and Challengers.
