Dont think I ever saw the car, just pics of the block and oil pan. Seems like a FL man thing to do
Sorry but this is hilarious.

Chevy Will Fix the Corvette Z06 That Popped Its Engine After 52 Miles
Owner Marco Garcia was given a few options on how to move forward. He opted to keep the car.
He paid $182,457.38 for the car. I'd question every decision he's ever made in life.
Unfortunately stuff like this happens. We had a brand new Honda accord 2.0t come off the truck with the engine knocking. Pdi caught it. Engine had oil in pan but the rest was dry.
Never found out what happened as Honda requested the entire engine sent back complete and sent us a complete unit out to install.

Sounds like the oil passages wasn't completely drilled out or the oil pickup wasn't totally installed right. Had a friends 2009 1500 Silverado with 5.3L have that happen to as the plant didn't install said pickup and so he started to have said knock after only 300 miles. So sent it in no codes and took 3 whole days before they decided to pull engine and drop the pan and go oh where is the oil pickup line at, there is none!!!! So took about 2 weeks to have a fresh new engine delivered and installed.
Yeah that’s what we figured as well but they told us to leave it alone. We had gone as far as pulling the valve cover to find the top end completely dry. Shipped us a new engine a few days later and we swapped it out.
Ended up sending that car into the rental lineup as we didn’t feel it would be right to sell it as a “new” car.
Lmfaoo. That’s classic
Go spend double on a McLaren and have even higher chances of failure then... shit happens
i have a 2023 70th anniversary regular c8..... i love the car. its surreal from a dig. It doesnt have HUGE HP on the bigend... but i didnt expect it to. i already gave my deposit for a zr1 or its equivalent when its released. i tossed around the idea of TRYING to go turbo or with calloways packages but decided against it. If they get into the ECU and the prcie of a SIMPLE blower kit/package becomes available ill spent the 12K and do it. but im not gonna throw big money modifying this car. It seems like checy doesnt want us modding them.
I bet that car will end up on Mecum or BJ 10 years from now and go for huge $$$ because of the unique story that goes with it.
But yeah, $50k over is bufoonery.

Years ago i took an old chaperall 340cc snowmobile that had the inlet to the carb pointing straight back at the rider...it had a plastic flap that opened and there she sat...well i decided to spray a can ether right down it while running accross the field wot....i think i made it 150-200yds before it melted down...and i mean melted down! Lol...my dad was pissed
Yeah, that'll dry out those cylinders in a heartbeat. Bet is was a fun 10 seconds.
Pardon my ignorance, but is there an official power plant set for the C8 ZR1? Or just rumors?
Oh it was lol
I am calling bullshit. Post up a pic of the invoice/receipt that you have for this.
