I guess every car has its Achilles heel.

I've been getting up to speed on the C6 Z06 lately, and even with the dry sump oil system there are still issues on the 2006 to 2008 cars, and there are issues with the exhaust valve guides from the factory that have cost engines there as well.

Seems like oiling is always going to be a key concern
