[QUOTE="08mojo, post: 15718574, member: 132915"] The only one I recall of grenading the engine is 'whatcop' on the corvette forums, but his story is a bit different and he beats the living crap out of his ZR1, and by that I mean he enjoys the car to the fullest. I'm sure there are others, but his is the only one I remember coming apart. Read this thread though, and you'll see his car has a bit of a different story: [URL]https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c6-corvette-zr1-and-z06/3934222-phoenix-rising-from-the-ashes-with-vengeance-racing.html[/URL] The story is this: there have been documented cases of low mile ZR1s with excessive valve guide wear, but unlike the LS7, the LS9 seems to stay in one piece. If you get a ZR1, plan to have the heads checked and rebuilt if needed. If you turn the wrenches yourself, it's a fairly inexpensive repair (less than $2k). If you pay someone else to wrench, double the cost. [/QUOTE]
