I don't do a lot of full throttle runs but most of the time it does it.

Lol that is normal. It's because the throttle closes and ecu pulls timing on the shifts....aka torque management.

I purchased her April 15th 2016 now has 35000 miles no issues love it.

So far so good.

Since it has been in the C7 Corvette from 2014 It had plenty of test time before introduced into the GEN6 Camaro SS and ZL1 (LT4) not surprised it's holding up well.

This is a simple poll and deals with a specific topic so it has a possibility of kinda being accurate BUT I doubt that the percentages are this high for engine replacements when talking on the entire population.

Spot on..

106,000 miles, 3.5 years now. Water pump bearing is beginning to squeal occasionally. Left side-pod radiator started leaking from the core itself, some bars-leaks fixed it. No other problems. Doesn't use oil, starts good, runs good. Still original plugs.

50th Anniversary 15.000km no issues at all. Just did the yearly service. Engine runs like a Swiss watch.

Camshaft bearing failure at 52,000 miles. Full engine replacement.

Was it fixed under warranty?

I haven't gotten it back yet, but yes the engine is being replaced under warranty. GM is also paying my car payment until I get it back, and they provided a loaner, a 4 cylinder Buick Encore

but I have saved a lot of money on gas!

Car has been at the dealership since July 20. New engine was approved on Sep 11.

Wow, how does she pull after 106k miles? Still a torque monster?

2019 SS 1LE 6,000 miles self destructed on track at Road America. Replaced under warranty within three weeks! Analysis was “piston failure.”

CHASLT1 · 11-14-2020, 10:45 AM

So far fine as wine with 320 miles.

My C7 vette did that just the way they are tuned. My LS3 never did it.
