I don't give a sh*t how many LS engines you have owned.....just because all of YOURS burnt oil doesn't mean they all will......reading comprehension isn't one of your greater points is it?
Perhaps you could check out some of those links I posted, unless of course you feel that you are WAY more educated with those 4 LS engines behind your belt than countless owners whom claim no oil consumption
Now, since you obviously have comprehension issues, let me reiterate that we're talking about large amounts, not these few so called ounces you speak of
and like I said....a few ounces isn't something to get a sandy vagina about...relax before you scare him more than he already is

Back on topic: IMO, I think they lock because
A.)GTO owners get pissed at anyone who makes a thread that entitles the words "cobalt ss/sc", "Vs" "GTO", and all the GTO owners come rushing in to jump conclusions and immediate defense.
-or-
B.) Some Cobalt owners claim dumb victories over them.
That's how I see it, and it's childish how people react towards it. Just some people just need to clearly grow up. PERIOD

Cobalt owners may claim dumb victories, but as we all should know by now: Not all cobalts beat GTO's, and not all GTO's beat cobalts.
I thought my GT was going to get my butt handed to me by a 6.0L M6 GTO at the track and I ended up beating him by 0.2secs 7 times in a row. And he had a lot of track experience and a Pedders track pack on there. I was not using nitrous.

They are over priced painted Monroes.
You drive a bastard child called a GTO and you are telling someone with a C6 that there car took a hit and get out while they can now that is some funny ****. Not only did the 2008 LS3 have zero effect on 2007 LS2 prices but you are driving a car that in a few more years GM will say GTO what GTO?
And if you knew what Z51 came with you would realize how dumb your statement was. I paid an extra $1700 for Z51 specific shocks, springs, brakes, GY Supercar tires, a cooler for everything and a unique gear ratio T-56.
You paid $2000 for some aftermarket parts to replace factory parts that never should have been used in the first place.
I belive you are the only one with problems reading things because I never said they burned alot of oil. Funny that you think they don't all burn some oil though, then agian maybe people are running gear oil. I am am sure GM only sent out a notice of oil consumption during aggressive driving to waste some left over bulk rate postage also.
Yep
Cost me $2000 to do it myself plus the alignment.
Wow.
You shouldn't have to pay for the Z51 pakage either.
It's a Vette............
Please don't try to impress me with a LS2, C6, Z51.
I drive one on a weekly basis. If I were you I wouldn't invest any money in a LS2 C6.
Thier market value took quite a hit after the LS3 came out. Better get out while you can.

Down boys......we obviously have a "my ***** is bigger" vette owner on our hands
Once again "guy".....ALL MOTORS consume some oil.......it's normal.....what I was trying to get at is it's not an issue until it's large amounts. You're making it sound like GTO's are the only cars that consume in your own words "a few ounces".
But I'll leave it at that instead of going back and forth and oh yes, my ***** is BIGGER

Too Funny, I think it is in the book of Luke.

I think you are talking to the wrong person again.

When I had my GTO in 2006 the suspension was the first thing I looked into. There are only three manufactures that make a GTO chassis based application. Monroe, some Euro aftermarket company and Bilstein. The Bilstein units are cartridge replacements and are hard to get your hands on. As for Monroe they are the OEM supplier for GM and are the only one you will find available when it comes to OE style replacements. They make only one version also and that is the SensATrac.
I am very picky about what goes on my car so I did some digging. I was told by a Pedders dealer and a few other sources that Monroe supplied Pedders shocks. It's kind of like the after market springs that are available. Pretty much all of them are made by one of two companies.
1- You compared spending $2000 on Pedders crap to me spending $1700 on the Z51 package like it was one in the same. The Pedders crap makes a absolutly terrible suspension a little better. The Z51 takes an already great suspension and makes it awesome not to mention the other goodies.
2- You think beause daddy or someone else has a C6 that you know a damn thing.
3- You drive a GTO and bash on a C6's value. By the way there are two people that buy Vettes. Older guys in a mid life crisis and people like me who want the GM flagship performer. Sad thing is people like me is maybe 30% of sales and the old guys could care less which engine is under the hood.
So obviously I am not speaking to the wrong person.
And this coming from a fool that posts the same pictures time after time of his dads GT500 saying it's his own.
And my GTO was great but my C6 is just that much better so whats your point? The GTO with the exception of the suspension is a nice LS2 powered vehicle. Unfortunatly when you do the math a C6 will always do more with less power and needs no suspension tweaks so............
