You paid how much...and it lasted how long?
You are nicer than me. I get that legally speaking, race car, no warranty, blah, blah, blah but if I paid a gazillion dollars for an engine and it grenaded that soon the remaining 7 pistons would be up someone at Texas Speed's ass. |

That's crazy......the damn thing should have been bullet proof.
From what I know about motors though, revving them to redline with no load on them is asking for trouble.With all that torque it probably wasn't necessary to rev it like that on the line. Mind you, my knowledge of motors is about 25 years out of date. |

There are a lot of parts on the grenaded engine that can be reused which should bring the cost back to an easier managed total. Since you built a roll cage into the black Corvette, won't be hard to reconvert it back to a street machine? And won't it need to be repainted?
Rather than covert the 2009 Z06, you would probably be cheaper to drop another long block into the car. |

I want my '09 to stay a garage queen, but I still want to start doing track days, so I will eventually be in the market for something already built. Again, in time. It will take me some time to lick the financial wounds from this episode. $50k/yr. cash to Georgia Tech is a big nut for the next 3.5 years. |

it is possible to enjoy a hobby (auto cross) and just enjoy the day, and not worry about winning.

Try a little Seafoam and I feel like it will be okay.

I was going to suggest there are a couple of low mileage LS7s on that other site for sale, but knowing the valve train issues they have, going new may be the better option.

So why use another LS7? How about an LS9? Should bolt in with minimal changes to the car.
