Default 2000 Corvette issues?

are there any known issues with the 2000 corvette? I am looking into a 6 speed convertible. I also have a mild 6.0 being built for my ta, should the 6.0 be reserved for the corvette?

I love the 2000
I have no oil issues and the only issue is they are not fast enough but neither is an 01 -04
If you want to spin it up get new Katech rod bolts and while your in there get the katech oil pump and timing chain .
If the 6.0 is an ls2 aluminum go for it .
If it is iron Put it in a truck save your money for the ls2 4.0 stroke 402 or c5r block .
Have fun
I only have 14 k on the 2000 vert and 0 problems
except my addiction for mods
Do it once and correct the first time ,I should listen to my own drummer
good luck have fun

Either is good foundation

Only the normal ones: column lock, gas quage, rear end leak. which is common
to all. other than that a great car.
