Sure...the common thread is, owners who have modded the car, reprogrammed the engine and flogged the car hard.

Any questions?

That is not much different of an analogy than wondering if one exterior color was more prone to blowing than another.

I think the day of the week the cars were built would be more relevant than which individual built them, haha.

Another LS7 valve thread, really?
.

You have to be kidding me, you even admit that your thread is STUPID, as set forth in the title of your thread.

Some of you guys really need to give this a rest as your are ruining the C6 Z section, and have chased away many solid C6 Z owners with this repetivitve pot stirring (troll like) crap, and that's the issue that I have with this redundant bull chit!

I seriously doubt that the "engine builder" assembles the heads. He just installs them.

Oh ya, it was built in March of '08.
I better go drive it today to make sure it will run.
But what if it "blows up"?
Maybe I shouldn't drive it today. Do they blow up on a particular day of the week?
Are afternoons or mornings worse?
Oh what the heck, I've got a GMPP and feeling lucky today.
