[QUOTE="Blaine, post: 12706043, member: 36571"] C6 Z06 problems.. hmmmm. I got flammed anytime I brought up these OBVIOUS C6Z problems on the Vette forums. 1. 2 piece exhaust Valves.. they FAIL if something is not right in valve train. One dead valve = one dead 427. If #2 below fails... it cause #1 to fail. :pop: 2. Rocker arm bearing failure (A nice little surprise for 07 C6Z owners who don't do research.) 3. Flying carbon fiber roof syndrome. (At least GM recalled this one.) GM decided it would be cheaper to IGNORE problems 1 and 2 since it would be cheaper to address the lucky few whos engines FAIL while in warranty. When I bought my 06 Z06 I COMPLETELY rebuild my heads with dual valve springs, roller rockers, and solid SS Exhaust Valves. BUT Ford was just as bad refusing to admit there was a problem with Cobra Heads....... tick tick tick.. BOOM. Yeah.. I was one who had engine failure due to head tick/head issue. I'm sorry you warranty is voided due to your cat back exhaust...... :fm::fm::fm::fm::fm: I learned my lesson. I will never ever.. ever.. ever buy a new Ford or care about a warranty that may be left on a used one. And back on topic... yes the COBRA CAN be a reliable daily driver if tuned and maintained properly. BUT of course ensure the head issue has been addressed properly. (There is over 1000000 posts on this issue so I won't elaborate.) [/QUOTE]
