I totally agree with you, Mr Rabin

I haven't heard any good news from DI gasser engines, lots of PCV issues and oil caking on the valves.
but if i do buy one it will be the second year, used.

Add a supercharger and meth injection and you do not have to worry about oil caking on the valves.

I'm going to continue enjoying my C5 by outrunning the new C7's.
Don't get me wrong, I really like the C7 but I'm not done with the C5 yet. It will be fun watching what the aftermarket does with them and I wouldn't be surprised if someone runs 9's with one fairly early.

I'm keeping my 2013 C6 for the forseeable future. The C7's lines and shapes haven't grown on me and the first year bugs won't be known for a little while. On the other hand, the C6 curves and lines flow together nicely, the car and LS3 are very well refined.
