Precisely what the manual calls for. Just consistent and timely on oil changes.
Got my *** handed to me by this blown/cammed c7 on the way home from some friendly runs with some friends leaving cars and coffee.
The c7 made me temporarily deaf and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Atta boy!
Gotta keep them warranty folkes happy....
Thats a sweet vette. Minus the gay hash marks. Been marinating the idea of switching over to that. My dirty mexican ratchet is all about the c7 vettes.
We shall see what develops...

No video. Left Chinese knockoff gopro at home as I wasn't expecting any runs today.
Wasn't much of a race, happened last second in the moment, was a quick run as traffic was so bad I had to switch lanes to even keep the run going much past a couple seconds, and to be quite frank I'm ok with not reminding myself of the gappage that was had on myself in that short amount of time.
You need a cammed c7 if considering that route. It sounded like absolute sex. It was so brash and I loved it.
It had me researching them on all of the automotive classifieds when I got home.

I'm not a fan of the hash marks either. In fact, I won't buy a c6 GS that has one. I know they are nostalgic, but I find them ricer and ugly.

That experience had me considering c7s more in all honestly. They are so much more comfortable than all of the corvettes before them too.

It is definitely a great platform to start with. I would just recommend you find some drag radials for your street tires. They can be quite the handful from a low roll with the stockers.
Not another mullet!

Nice vid
I was really impressed with a stock ls2 manual vette at 131 a few weeks back at my track. Well it did have a cat back. So I guess not totally stock. Guy could drive. Was running 12.4@115-116 all night with 1.9 60ft. Cut a fast light every time. Little faster than I expected honestly given the DA was 2400. Thought it was an ls3 before I looked it over and talked to him. Guy was misinformed though. Had no plan for headers or any bolt ons as someone had convinced him they did nothing lol

Either way, strong running car for minimal mods and good 60's for what I'm presuming are run flats

As expected. Put some gear in it with a decent tire and it would be rape from start to finish. Should keep the shelbro. With the type of racing you like to do it would lay waste to most cars with minimum mods.
